brazzos gives me hope!

Nobody else in the room knew what was happening. Of course, I can't blame them, they've never seen Charles act like this before, but it is very indicative of what most people who have seen him like this would have thought; it's nonsensical. That kind of dismissive perspective is almost certainly what built his belief that he needs to suppress his emotions, that yelling or even violence would be better than acting weird.  I can imagine he heard a lot of “use your words” and was told to stop throwing a tantrum.  But it was never a tantrum.  Just because he wasn't able to literally say something doesn’t mean he wasn't trying to communicate in a very real way, and none of the people who shamed or dismissed Charles over the years bothered to get to know him well enough to find that out.
