I'm not so sympathetic to the family. This punk had extreme anti-social and psychotic behavior all through college (4 years) and at least a portion of high school.
So, this punk almost said nothing, not a word, to anybody and had extremely anti-social behavior for a period of between 5 - 8 years.
If I had acted that way at that age and for that long I would have gotten my ass kicked by my dad and then sent to an institution by my mom.
I certainly wouldn't have been sent to Tech to get a college degree.
It's not like this kid had trouble making friends or was shy. He had one-word responses to any and all human contact, or would just turn his head and ignore you without saying anything. This went on for YEARS.
I'm speculating, but I'm sure he acted this way with his parents. From watching all the Tech students describe this guy (even people that went to high school with him), he was always consistent. His behavior never, ever changed. Ever. Every one of them said the exact same thing: he was quiet, never said anything, blank expressionless face, etc.
Any idea what institution? Any idea how much they cost?
