Some disorganized studies based on Stranger on the Third Floor and thoughts about what may have led the Stranger to become the person he was in the end.
I think it's very up to interpretation, because no matter what condition led to him being hospitalized, the point is what happened to him in the hospital/prison was monstrous, to the point he was so afraid to go back that he'd do anything to avoid it. He wasn't being treated, he was being abused.
I just kind of projected my own diagnosis on him, thinking about what happened to a lot of people before me. The idea of being hurt to "cure" something that never needed to be cured, which isn't exclusive to autism obviously, just something I think about sometimes.
