    Will Smith and Chris Rock: 25 years of a cameo and five years of pending accounts

  • Due to stress Will Smith enters a rehabilitation clinic

  • Will Smith, sanctioned with a decade of absence at the Oscars

Weeks after the Oscar Awards gala, Will Smith's attack on comedian Chris Rock continues to be talked about.

The Film Academy has vetoed Smith for 10 years

, which means that he will dispense with his participation in the event until 2033. The actor has assumed the facts and has entered a rehabilitation clinic of his own free will to manage your stress.

The several canceled premieres, the great red carpets that condemn the performance of the protagonist of the

Prince of Bel-Air

, are some of the consequences that resolve the doubts of those who thought that everything that happened was part of the show.

Chris Rock's tepid reaction to

the

blow has raised questions about the credibility of the confrontation.

But,

what is Rock's secret to knowing how to deal blows so well?

Against all odds, it is not a clandestine training by boxer Mike Tyson, but rather because

the comedian suffers from a disorder that prevents him from correctly deciphering the non-verbal language of other people

, which means that he could not capture Will Smith's anger until he got up to express it.

What's wrong with Chris Rock?

The artist known for starring in the

sitcom Everybody Hates Chris

confessed in 2020 that he

suffers from a non-verbal learning disorder (NLD) or procedural disorder

, as stated in an interview for

The Hollywood Reporter.

A neurological disorder marked by good verbal skills and

difficulties in visuospatial

(ability to locate objects in terms of dimension and space),

motor and social

abilities caused by damage or functional deficit in the neuronal connections in the right hemisphere.

Which translates into

difficulty interpreting the emotions of others

well, as well as their non-verbal language (that is, body behavior and facial expression).

Therefore, interaction is largely limited to communication with words.

For this reason, the presenter of the Oscars did not react to the slap and even continued to joke after the incident.

It seems that Rock didn't

understand what was happening until Smith started yelling at him to stop naming his wife after

him.

"All these things are great for writing jokes, but they are not great for personal relationships

," the comedian confessed in the interview in which he revealed his disorder.

In this sense, Rock assured that he had always attributed these problems to fame, "every time someone responded to me in a negative way, I thought: 'It doesn't matter, they are responding to something that has to do with what they think I am'. Now I realize it was me. A lot of it was me."

Difficulty in relationships with the environment

The disorder especially affects the socio-emotional area due to the socio-cognitive difficulties it presents.

What in practice translates into

little ability to capture during an interaction: subtleties, double meanings, ironies

, sarcasm, jokes, the recognition of emotions or even empathy, as listed by the

National Association of those affected by the TANV.

Specialists point out that those affected by TANV are often perceived as strange or immature, due to their

executive clumsiness and their lack of skill in solving seemingly simple situations

, as well as their lack of social insight.

Importance in treatment

The treatment of a person with TANV must be approached from a

multimodal perspective

, that is, an education that adapts its forms of teaching to the capacities of the individual.

Early detection and early intervention are essential to achieve an improvement in the evolution of the diagnosed person.

The affected person should receive psychological therapy, neurocognitive training, training in social skills and family support.

On the contrary, when the person with TANV becomes aware of their difficulties and has not received adequate education from professionals regarding their limitations , they

tend to avoid large social groups and reduce interaction with new people.

In the long run, people with this condition, who do not learn to live with these limitations, tend to isolate themselves and do not leave their

comfort

zone , sometimes giving rise to the appearance of anticipatory anxiety problems, phobias, isolation, depressive symptoms , feelings of low skills and personal devaluation.
