Walter Hartwell White Jr. (also known as Flynn) is a fictional character in the crime drama series Breaking Bad. Played by RJ Mitte, Walt Jr. is the son of protagonist
Roy Frank "RJ" Mitte III (/ˈmɪti/; born August 21, 1992) is an American actor, best known for playing Walter White Jr. on the AMC series Breaking Bad (2008–2013). Like his character on the show, he has cerebral palsy. After moving to Hollywood in 2006, he began training with a personal talent manager.
On the hit AMC television series Breaking Bad, RJ Mitte portrayed Walter "Flynn" White Jr., a young man with cerebral palsy (CP), the neurologic condition that Mitte was diagnosed with as a toddler.
Mitte was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 3; after his diagnosis, doctors put his legs in casts for 6 months to straighten his feet. He used leg braces and crutches for most of his childhood until his body became strong enough to walk without them.
At first glance, Breaking Bad's creator Vince Gilligan thought RJ Mitte wasn't right. He had written the role of Walter White's son, Walt jnr in tribute to an old college friend with cerebral palsy and was determined that an actor with the disability should play the part.
By examining the social and internal interactions of the character Walter White, it is clear that he could be clinically diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder.
Is Cerebral Palsy a Form of Autism? Cerebral palsy is not a form of autism. According to the Mayo Clinic, cerebral palsy — which develops after the brain suffers severe damage before, during, or shortly after birth — causes problems with muscle control and tone, movement, and posture.
Walter White doesn't show one symptom of autism. He relates to the people around him just fine, has no sensory issues whatsoever, and expresses his emotions in a rather unremarkable way.
After season 2, Walt's cancer goes into remission for several months, but it returns approximately around the time of season 5's "Gliding Over All" and is confirmed to be back in "Blood Money" which takes place over a year after Walt first got diagnosed.
He is now beyond five years out from treatment and free of disease.” Starting with his very first chemotherapy session, Walter documented his progress in photos. Six years later and still in remission, Walter has no lasting side effects other than scar tissue from the radiation and some anxiety.
Walter Hartwell White Jr.
(also known as Flynn) is a fictional character in the crime drama series Breaking Bad. Played by RJ Mitte, Walt Jr. is the son of protagonist Walter White and his wife Skyler. He has cerebral palsy, as manifested in speech difficulties and impaired motor control, for which he uses crutches.
There is no cure for CP, but treatment can improve the lives of those who have the condition. It is important to begin a treatment program as early as possible.
Villain: When She Started Smoking, Flirting
But when we discover that she is sneaking off to smoke while being pregnant, then again nearby her newborn baby, that's just too far. To her defense, she claims to have only smoked 3.5 cigarettes when she was pregnant before feeling ashamed.
That realization hit home during the phone call at the end of the previous episode, "Granite State." Walter Jr. will not try to understand his father; Walter Jr. will not knowingly accept his money; Walter Jr. will never forgive him. His father was his greatest hero, but became his ultimate villain.
I had it coming,” Walt confesses. Walt isn't just crying because he's ruined the only real relationship he had (both business and personal), but he's crying because he's realized the mess he's made of his life, and those around him.
No. From the moment Walt had him dragged out from under that car in the desert, Jesse never forgave his former partner. From that moment on, Jesse felt nothing but hatred and resentment towards him.
Walt, the trained scientist, calls himself “Heisenberg” after the Heisenberg Uncertainly Principle by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg, who posited that the location and momentum of a nuclear particle cannot be known at the same time.
Even as her marriage crumbles, Skyler permits Walt to take care of Holly and defends some of his actions to her lawyer, who advises that she leave Walt immediately. She later finds that Walt has signed off on their divorce and left the house for good.
An extremely complex character, Breaking Bad revolves around Walter White's transformation from a mild-mannered and sympathetic family man into a dangerous and sociopathic drug kingpin. It also charts his constantly shifting personality and motivations as they become darker and more selfish as the series goes on.
The sides of his personality — sociopath and family man, scientist and killer, rational being and creature of impulse, entrepreneur and loser — are not necessarily as contradictory as we might have supposed. Or rather, if we insist on supposing that they are, it may be for our own sentimental reasons.
After Breaking Bad
In an interview, show creator Vince Gilligan confirmed that Walter Jr. eventually received his father's drug money through Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, which he had arranged beforehand.
And for most of the series, Walter Jr. adored his father. He even took dad's side when Walt and Skyler separated. Walt Jr sides with his Father up until he finds out how much he lied to Skyler and what he had done.
Level 3 is the most severe level of autism. People with level 3 autism have limited ability to speak clearly. Difficulty with both verbal and nonverbal communication makes it challenging to interact with others. This level of autism requires a higher level of support throughout life.
Inheritance. ASD has a tendency to run in families, but the inheritance pattern is usually unknown. People with gene changes associated with ASD generally inherit an increased risk of developing the condition, rather than the condition itself.
Many children with milder forms of cerebral palsy have average survival times similar to those of the general population. Children with mild cerebral palsy have a 99% chance of living to 20 years old, whereas children with severe cerebral palsy have a 40% chance, according to Dr. Ananya Mandal.
