After the role of a lifetime, Mitte is changing how people think about cerebral palsy and speaking out against bullying. 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.
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.
Actor RJ Mitte rose to fame at the age of 14 when he was cast as Walter White Jr in cult series Breaking Bad. He has cerebral palsy and was bullied when he was younger because of his disability.
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.
Walter White Walt Jr. was born on July 8, 1993, to Walter White and Skyler White. At some point during his childhood he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and thus received impaired motor control, for which he relied on the use of crutches.
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.
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.
Throughout Breaking Bad, Jesse finds himself constantly suffering as a result of his involvement in Walter's business. He's beaten, nearly killed multiple times, imprisoned, and suffers severe anxiety and depression as a result of his experiences.
Numerous characters in television shows are informally described as psychopaths. Examples include Natalie Buxton in Bad Girls, Sean Slater and Michael Moon in EastEnders, Dexter Morgan in Dexter, Tuco Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and Frank Underwood in House of Cards.
At this point, Tuco's behavior suggests he could be either a psychopath or a sociopath. While Tuco does show emotional detachment towards others' well-being, what differentiates him from a psychopath is his impulsive behavior.
This changed, however, in the final season of Breaking Bad when Walt's actions were unearthed. Walt Jr. was disgusted by his father and vowed to protect his mother and baby sister. In doing so, he permanently dropped his birth name and went by Flynn to further wipe his connection to Walt.
In 2016, Vince Gilligan finally revealed the true reason why Walter broke up with Gretchen and left Gray Matter: he felt inferior to her and her wealthy family, confirming that it was due to his ego and pride.
On the day Walter White was diagnosed with cancer, he was given two years to live. He missed the 2 year mark diagnosis by only one day in "Felina" when he died.

(RJ Mitte). At the start of the series, the day after his 50th birthday, Walter is diagnosed with Stage III lung cancer. After this discovery, Walter resorts to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), to ensure his family's financial security after his death.
Hank develops symptoms of PTSD and transfers back to the Albuquerque office to continue his investigation into the blue meth. Meanwhile, Walt and Jesse, having lost the Salamancas for selling meth, have engaged with Jesse's friends.
Gus indeed displayed traits of a OCD, type A, (not criminal traits), but at the same Gus was psychotically filled with rage, hatred and spiteful revenge. This was his fuel.
This trait, alongside his sociopathy and sadism, made him feared by many, but not even slightly liked by his fellow cartel dons, with Eladio mocking Hector, and the man himself stating the rest of the Cartel treats him and his family like dogs despite what they did.
She shoplifts compulsively—apparently a manifest symptom of kleptomania—a behavior for which she sees a therapist. She appears self-centered and shallow but cares deeply for her husband and her sister's family. Nearly all of her household and clothing items are shades of the color purple.
One of the "dark triad" traits, along with psychopathy and Machiavellianism, Walt's narcissism slowly reveals itself over the course of the series.
Jesse was severely beaten on multiple occassions, sometimes maybe just for fun. His most prominebt scar on his face is probably the result of the first day when they interogatted him. His face was extremely damaged.
145 is a good estimate of Walter White's IQ. That's just above genius level, which is 140.
Doctors found numerous tumors and cancer throughout Walt's body including his brain, bone marrow, adrenal gland, and next to his liver. At this point, the cancer had spread so far that doctors were worried he would lose his sight in the next 24 hours.
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.
