Bryan Kohberger’s Diagnoses: Autism, OCD, ADHD & ARFID — What They Mean (and Don’t)

Bryan Kohberger’s Diagnoses: Autism, OCD, ADHD & ARFID — What They Mean (and Don’t)

Bryan Kohberger’s Diagnoses: Autism, OCD, ADHD & ARFID — What They Mean (and Don’t)
Bryan Kohberger shocked the world when he admitted to murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022. But in 2025, inside a quiet courtroom, another revelation came to light: a list of mental health diagnoses Kohberger disclosed on his competency waiver. Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1). Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). And Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
What do these diagnoses actually mean? And do they shed light on the disturbing path that led Kohberger to stalk, plan, and brutally end four young lives?

In this episode, we break down each condition in plain, human terms — autism, OCD, ADHD, ARFID — and explore how they may have shaped certain aspects of Kohberger’s personality and behavior. From his rigid eating habits to his obsessive control over details, from social detachment to hyperfocus on crime, the diagnoses paint a complicated picture of a troubled man.

But here’s the crucial point: these conditions explain quirks, not choices. Millions of people live with autism, OCD, ADHD, or ARFID. They face challenges, but they do not commit violent crimes. Kohberger’s actions were not driven by uncontrollable compulsions or neurological destiny. They were deliberate. Calculated. And deadly.

This is not a story about labels. It’s about accountability. The court made that clear when Kohberger admitted his conditions did not impair his decision-making. The diagnoses may help us understand him — but they do not excuse him.

Join us as we dive into the chilling story of Bryan Kohberger’s courtroom diagnoses, the context behind them, and why they fail to answer the haunting question that still lingers: why?

Professor Exposes EVERY Dark Truth About Bryan Kohberger as His TA

Professor Exposes EVERY Dark Truth About Bryan Kohberger as His TA

Professor Exposes EVERY Dark Truth About Bryan Kohberger as His TA Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the murders of four University of Idaho students, he was a teaching assistant in Washington State University’s criminal justice department. Now, one of the professors who worked directly with him, John Snyder, is speaking out about what it was like to have Kohberger as his TA. Snyder, a former public defender turned professor, says Kohberger was unlike any assistant he’d ever been assigned. Instead of being helpful, Kohberger often skipped class and showed up only when it suited him. Worse, Snyder says, he developed a habit of cornering him at the end of the day, following him down the hall, and talking endlessly about trivial or immature topics. Snyder called it the “terrier routine” — a way Kohberger seemed to feel in control by wasting his time. Even Snyder’s wife noticed something unsettling. Once, while waiting for him in the car, she saw Kohberger trailing her husband and instinctively recoiled — a reaction she’d never had to anyone before. Other episodes stuck with Snyder too. Kohberger once insisted on showing him how he could beat a parking ticket, dragging him to the lot to “analyze the scene.” Snyder, with decades of courtroom experience, told him flatly that people who think they’re smarter than the law are always wrong. Kohberger ignored the advice. By the end of the semester, Snyder had grown to dread working with him. He described Kohberger as arrogant, petty, and more interested in control games than teaching. When Kohberger was arrested weeks later, Snyder realized his complaints about an irritating TA had actually been warnings about something far more sinister. This is the professor’s perspective: what it was like working side by side with Bryan Kohberger before the world knew his name. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #MoscowMurders #BryanKohbergerTA #JohnSnyder #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Jeffrey LaCasse Testifies About Wendi Adelson & TV Repair Story

Donna Adelson Trial: Jeffrey LaCasse Testifies About Wendi Adelson & TV Repair Story

Donna Adelson Trial: Jeffrey LaCasse Testifies About Wendi Adelson & TV Repair Story In a pivotal day of testimony, the jury in the Trial of Donna Adelson heard from Jeffrey LaCasse, the former boyfriend of Wendi Adelson. LaCasse delivered striking recollections about conversations he had with Wendi in the aftermath of her divorce from Dan Markel, and in the months leading up to his murder. One of the most memorable details was his account of Wendi telling him that her brother, Charlie Adelson, had “looked into all options” when it came to solving the family’s custody frustrations—words that now carry chilling weight in the courtroom. LaCasse also addressed the infamous “TV repair story,” a tale prosecutors argue was concocted to provide cover for suspicious behavior in the days following Markel’s killing. His testimony painted a picture of subtle but deliberate messaging within the Adelson family, suggesting that explanations were crafted in advance to shield themselves from suspicion. Why does this matter? Because LaCasse’s words don’t just provide color—they give jurors a glimpse into Wendi’s mindset and the broader family conversations that may have revealed motive. By confirming the stories Wendi told him, LaCasse connected personal anecdotes to the larger web prosecutors say tied Donna, Charlie, and Wendi together in orchestrating the plot. His testimony brought the focus back to Donna’s influence, showing how deep her family’s entanglement in the case runs. #TrueCrime #DonnaAdelsonTrial #DanMarkel #WendiAdelson #JeffreyLaCasse #CourtroomDrama #CharlieAdelson #TVRepairStory #FloridaJustice #CrimeWatch Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna & Wendi Adelson EXPOSED, What Turned Wendi AGAINST Donna!

Donna & Wendi Adelson EXPOSED, What Turned Wendi AGAINST Donna!

Donna & Wendi Adelson EXPOSED, What Turned Wendi AGAINST Donna! The Adelson family once projected strength, privilege, and unity. Now, piece by piece, it’s collapsing in public view. In this combined episode, we cover two seismic developments in the Donna Adelson trial. First: the courtroom showdown where Wendi Adelson refused to testify for her mother. Her lawyers fought back against a defense subpoena, and the judge quashed it. That refusal marks a dramatic fracture in family loyalty. Wendi is choosing survival over solidarity, while her brother Charlie — already convicted — is still clinging to his mother’s defense. Then: Donna herself. Unlike most defendants, she’s insisting on taking the stand. Against the advice of her legal team, she’s confident she can sway the jury. But will that confidence read as arrogance? Or worse, denial? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze both sides of this unraveling family saga: Why Wendi’s silence may speak louder than Charlie’s loyalty. How Donna’s need for control, mixed with possible age-related decline, could push her to self-destruct on the stand. What this trial means for the next generation — Dan Markel’s teenage sons — who are now old enough to understand the full weight of their family’s tragic legacy. This isn’t just a trial update. It’s a psychological deep dive into denial, narcissism, and survival inside a family that’s become synonymous with true crime.

Bryan Kohberger's Bad Week Part 2 - New FBI Findings & More A$$ Threats!

Bryan Kohberger's Bad Week Part 2 - New FBI Findings & More A$$ Threats!

Bryan Kohberger's Bad Week Part 2 - New FBI Findings & More A$$ Threats! As if Bryan Kohberger’s harassment complaints weren’t embarrassing enough, Part Two of his “bad week in prison” reveals even more disturbing—and frankly pathetic—details. Beyond the taunts of “I’ll b*** f*** you” and “the only a** we’ll be eating is Kohberger’s,” new findings from FBI analysis shed light on his complete lack of adaptability, emotional intelligence, and awareness of reality. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke explains how Kohberger’s behavior behind bars mirrors the same traits he displayed long before the murders: arrogance, social ineptitude, and a desperate need to control others through formality and rules. In his letters, Kohberger cites prison nutrition policies and uses academic-style phrasing, as if staff will take him more seriously if he sounds “scholarly.” Instead, his words expose just how little he understands about prison life—or people in general. This segment digs into new FBI behavioral insights about Kohberger’s prison conduct and why inmates are tormenting him relentlessly. The taunts aren’t random—they’re designed to exploit his obvious weaknesses. And they’re working. Kohberger’s fixation on small grievances, his inability to see the bigger picture, and his shock at being powerless all point to a man unraveling fast. He once imagined himself infamous, maybe even admired by criminologists. Instead, he’s the target of mockery and ridicule, both inside and outside of prison walls. Part Two pulls no punches: Kohberger isn’t brilliant, he isn’t special—he’s hollow, exposed, and collapsing. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonThreats #HiddenKillers #Justice #RobinDreeke #PrisonNews #TrueCrimePodcast #CourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
