Dr. Katlyn Hanson diagnosed Daniel with Level 1 autism spectrum disorder and an unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder. She reported that although Daniel demonstrated an understanding of the charges against him and the potential consequences, he tended to minimize the seriousness of the allegations and she was concerned about his ability to assist his attorney in his defense. When Daniel arrived to MCFP Springfield in December 2024, he remained grounded in his beliefs that he was dating [[Grace]], and would even constantly talk about him and Grace with staff at Springfield and his defense. Dr. Katlyn Hanson stated that this delusional beliefs were strengthened by the trolls who interacted with him during his online infamy, and that he received prison mail at Springfield containing screenshots of text messages between him and fake Graces. By February 2025, Daniel began taking antipsychotic meds, which reduced his delusions, and finally acknowledged that Grace had nothing to do with his case. However, he still aspires to be a celebrity singer/songwriter. | Dr. Katlyn Hanson diagnosed Daniel with Level 1 autism spectrum disorder and an unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorder.
