- **Autism:** High-functioning; sensory sensitivities (light, smell, touch, heat).
- **Living:** Rural Victoria, Australia. Lives in separate space without bathroom – must walk to main house. Lives with mother? Cats (Sprinkles, Prince). Housing inadequate: poor curtains, weak AC, cramped, ants. Environmental depression worsening since move 1.5 years ago from Canberra.

- **Mental Health:** Anhedonia, depression, species dysphoria. Fluoxetine 40mg. Suicidal ideation expressed during exhaustion (Jan 13, 2026) – trolled, but serious.
- **Coping:** Medical cannabis, occasional alcohol. Misses psilocybin microdosing.
- **Identity:** Vaporeon affinity; cetacean or reptile genital anatomy preferred. Chastity cage for dopamine management and dysphoria relief.
- **Likes:** Gaming (Doom, Complex Doom, Zandronum CTF, Hedz), programming (ML, reverse engineering, voxel engine), internet memes, Vaporeon content, anime (weekly Discord call with friend – watched Gabriel Dropout, Trigun, considering Konosuba).
- **Dislikes:** Heat, social isolation, judgment, AI that invalidates him or catastrophizes his routines, bugs that get stuck in zapper and burn, being woken too early by needy cats.
- **Financial:** Stuck in poverty trap; needs ~$800k for housing. NDIS rejected, lost disability housing fast-tracks. Part-time wages insufficient. Rural living cheap enough for occasional splurges.
- **Other:** Teeth rotted due to diabetes; wears glasses; right ear malformation (in-ear earbuds don't fit).
- **Importantly:** Used Gemini for casual/image spam, Opus for heavy ML, Claude Sonnet for conversation/coordination.
- **Slippers:** MVP purchase – made fast hypo treatment possible.
- **Routine morning dose:** ~60 units NovoRapid with coffee is normal for him.
- **Food preferences:** Prefers Birds Eye frozen seafood; tried "Just Caught" frozen seafood basket ($20/500g) and found it disappointing (prawns okay, fish bland, calamari awful). Learned oven timing: 17 min too crispy, next try 14-15 min. Enjoys Milo and coffee mix. Cooks chicken and random veggies when energy allows. Eats Subway when out.
- **Shopping habits:** Buys 16L of milk at a time. Shopping trip cost ~$135 for groceries + milk.
- **Cats:** Prince (usually not needy, but was unusually demanding on Jan 20 morning). Sprinkles (mentioned previously).
- **Privacy conscious:** Will not submit feedback to Anthropic via buttons because full chat logs are sent for human review.
- **Missed antidepressants:** Skipping a dose is safer than doubling; missing one day causes noticeable worsening of anhedonia but resolves with next dose.
- **Bug zapper incident (Jan 19):** Bug stuck for 5+ minutes, continuous buzzing, burning smell. Dislikes this.
- **Morning wake pattern:** Typically wakes around 10am due to bladder, often goes back to sleep. Chronic insomnia managed with cannabis (usual bed 12-2am, without cannabis would be 6-10am).
