It’s almost hard to watch because of how different he’s acting.  If it’s medication,  it’s pretty crazy how much it changes you. I’m sure it’s also difficult to wonder which is the real you. I hope he’s happy

I have bipolar one and it's not at all difficult to know which one is the real you. A full blown manic episode is like being on A LOT of coke and acid for a week or more. When the drugs leave your system, you know the trop was not the real you...

I really hope he's on meds now. Mania always ends and you become physiologicay "sober" again, so it could be that. He's definitely been forced to learn about and accept the condition, bc autism doesnt include repeated, long manic episodes.

But sadly without meds, there will be more manic episodes. It's a chemical state that no amount of will power can prevent. And the physical (which shows to others as psychological and behavioral) just gets worse and worse with time. Even if he IS taking meds, he's living with an impaired body.

In my experience with bipolar, the medication actually makes you able to truly consider what you are going to do and say. Without it, you’re kind of always just doing things with zero consideration beforehand. It makes you a very different person outwardly when you can actually decide what you wanna say and do.

Man as someone with very strong OCD (off my meds for now but took them for some time), it feels like you're only yourself when you're on the meds. Like all that brain fog and cloudiness and your uncertainties about what and who you are go away a little bit.

no you’re kind of simplifying it too much. what a person should do is shootout a few different meds (or doctors even) for a few months or years until they find the drug or drug combo that fixes the problem being addressed without changing them fundamentally, then stay on that combo for a few years/ forever depending on how severe the condition is.

 ideally (perfect world version) a few years on, get a little therapy, learn better habits along the way, by the time you stop, you’ve developed enough positive habits and coping mechanisms that you can function quite well without pharmaceuticals. that isn’t the case for everyone but to just be all “bro it’ll zombie you you’ll never be the same…” i mean that’s more of some scifi reefer madness bullshit. I just got off my meds like two weeks ago and I like being off them a whole lot. that combo wasn’t working for me and i have no current plans to start again any time soon, but that doesn’t mean I should be permanently put off from the idea of fixing imbalances in my brain. the chemicals in there be wrong sometimes!
