What's the matter with him?

I think the saying is about not losing sight of the big picture while focusing on the details. I think you may focus on the trees and the animals and the mushrooms. But you should also see the whole and the interplay between the individual parts. Presumably.
When I imagine Ralph, I see an outsider who is avoided by the other children and ignored by the teachers, with a loving but somehow helpless father. ...being lonely , not being part of the group, not understanding the rules of the world around him.
I think it has to do with the need for attention and closeness. When you lack it, you turn to the person who has already fulfilled this need for you. It's hard to live with unfulfilled needs that you can't fulfill yourself. I guess the key is to learn how to find a relationship where your feelings are reciprocated (and to find out when they are not). I know that feeling and I don't have a solution.
I don't know whether this is a characteristic that is more prevalent in autistic people.
The two examples are totally different things. I don't get it.
He was a Dr. indeed! And what a doctor he was.

Defenestration
Notable autodefenestrations:
On July 9, 1993, the prominent Toronto attorney Garry Hoy fell from a 24th story window in an attempt to demonstrate to a group of new legal interns that the windows of the city's Toronto-Dominion Centre were unbreakable. He performed the same stunt on several previous occasions – dramatically slamming his body against the window – but this time it popped out of its frame and he fell to his death. The accident was commemorated by a 1996 Darwin Award and has been re-enacted in several films and television shows.
To be fair, no question was asked.
But introversion just means that talking decreases someone's energy. Does it also mean that introverts don't want to talk with others about topics that interest them? I thought, that this isn't the case.
PS: Yes I get it. It's meant to be paradox/ absurd by contrasting the two contradictory statements with each other. :)
Nice. I really like this. Thank you!
