	~~== Delusions ==~~

	~~Due to Daniels poor grasp on reality, he has several patterns of delusional thinking. These delusions mostly go hand-in-hand with his deeply-seeded delusions of grandeur and persecution complex.~~

	~~=== Grace VanderWaal ===~~
	Daniel's [[Pedophilia\|second-most infamous trait]] about him is his obsession with Grace VanderWaal, an America's Got Talent star who is now a low-level celebrity, musician and actress. Daniel's infatuation with her was likely planted by his grandmother, Nancy, when he was watching a segment of the show as a teenager. Nancy allegedly remarked that Daniel could get with her one day in the future, and our yet-to-be-sworn-in POTUS took that to heart. It's been displayed multiple times by trolls impersonating her that, when it comes to Grace, Daniel is willing to do [[August 29th Meltdown\|just]] [[The Toothbrush Incident\|about]] [[Grace VanderWaal#Daniel's (Failed) Trek from Colorado to New York\|anything]] to please her and/or increase his chances of getting romantically involved with her.

This eventually led him to be taken out of his home by the state of Colorado due to alleged neglect he faced at the hands of his mother.

In reference to reality, Daniel's grandmother was a known [[Enablers\|enabler]] of Daniel's bad behavior. It has been alleged by both Daniel's mother and father that when Daniel would act up (or have violent episodes), Nancy would seldom put down binding consequences. She would instead give Daniel what he wanted or let him get away with disobedient actions to appease him and/or get him to calm down.

	While he was medicated at the Tennyson Center, that care would cease as he got older, the consequences of such showing themselves on [[November 6th Arrest\|6 November 2017]] when Daniel was arrested for attacking a wheelchair-bound Elisabeth.

On a general level, schizophrenia causes it's sufferers to experience hallucinations, strongly hold delusional beliefs, distortedly take in stimuli and have paranoia.<ref>https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/schizophrenia</ref><ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23348-paranoid-schizophrenia</ref> These symptoms are sadly well-documented in Daniel. From his [[Pedophilia\|obsession]] with [[Grace VanderWaal]], delusions of grandeur (exhibited in his belief that he is a celebrity), and persecution persecution complex, it is clear that mental health plays a strong role in his poor grasp on reality can be blamed on his schizophrenia.

These symptoms are, sadly, well-documented in Daniel. From his [[Pedophilia\|obsession]] with [[Grace VanderWaal]], delusions of grandeur and persecution as well as other happenings, much of the mental health factor of his poor grasp on reality can be blamed on his schizophrenia.		Autism, while not the biggest influence on his sense of reality, plays a part in how one perceives reality. Autism Spectrum Disorder influences how a person afflicted with it senses reality due to their differences in perceiving stimuli compared to neurotypical people.<ref>[https://www.enableme.ke/en/disabilities/autism-a-different-perception-of-reality-1598#:~:text=From%20a%20medical%20point%20of,challenging%20to%20process%20environmental%20stimuli. https://www.enableme.ke/en/disabilities/autism-a-different-perception-of-reality-1598#:~:text=From%20a%20medical%20point%20of,challenging%20to%20process%20environmental%20stimuli.]</ref> Those with autism also sometimes struggle with differentiating fantasy and reality, so much so that it impacts things such as daily functioning and social interactions.<ref>https://neurolaunch.com/inability-to-differentiate-between-fantasy-and-reality-autism/</ref>

	Another strong contender in terms of mental health causing his poor grasp on reality is his affliction with Bipolar Disorder.

	~~'''Reality''' is the world of state of things as they actually exist. In '''[[Daniel]]'s''' case, the definition is less certain.~~		{{HealthDisclosure}}{{Stub}}

	~~To our hero, reality is a malleable concept which~~ is ~~influenced by his [[Daniel and mental health\|many mental illnesses]],~~ the ~~influences~~ of [[trolls]], and his [[Classic Era\|current]] [[Homeless Era\|life]] [[Jail (Disambiguation)\|situation]].

'''Reality''' is the world of state of things as they actually exist. In '''[[Daniel\|Daniel's]]''' case, the definition is less certain.

	Daniel's perception of reality has been on a downward spiral since his [[Classic Era\|first appearances]] on the Internet; the case can be made, however, that it was never quite that strong in the first place, and trolls only gave the ''final push'' rather than being the ''underlying cause'' of his poor sense of reality.		To our future president, reality is a malleable concept which is influenced by his [[Daniel and mental health\|many mental illnesses]], the influences of [[trolls]], and his [[Classic Era\|current]] [[Homeless Era\|life]] [[Jail (Disambiguation)\|situation]]. Reality is a concept which Daniel desperately tries to avoid, refusing to accept it as it is. Instead, he retreats into his own [[delusions]] as a coping mechanism for the sad state of his life, hoping that reality will eventually bend to his whims. His sense of what is ''real'' and what is ''not real'' is acutely warped, with him selectively believing what is so to him based on if it fits into his warped perception of the real world.

			Daniel's perception of reality has been on a downward spiral since his [[Classic Era\|first appearances]] on the Internet; the case can be made, however, that it was never quite that strong in the first place, and trolls only gave the ''final push'' rather than being the ''underlying cause'' of his poor sense of reality.

			Many with mental illnesses have struggles distinguishing between reality and fantasy, but most make an effort to reduce the impact it has on their lives. Daniel, on the other hand, embraces his delusional view of the world, no matter how many times he has been told that what he perceives is not real.

	His perception of reality is broken to such an extent as to him holding strong in his delusional beliefs well into the [[Second Jail Arc]]. Despite periods of institutionalization, nothing has seemed to get through to him on a deeper level. Suffice to say, Daniel is almost certain to have a poor grasp on reality for the foreseeable future.

	Because he thinks he's a world-wide famous celebrity, he believes that dozens of vehicles have stalked him in the past as he wandered the streets as a homeless bum. During the [[Häagen-Dazs Incident\|Haagen-Dazs Incident]], he claimed that people were lying about him because he was "fucking famous, bitch".
