I work in a field where I am always reading someone's body/ face and trying to get to the "why" of who they are and what they were thinking when they did that. I also work with aggressive people, many of whom have had zero language since birth and are what you could identify as "feral". If I don't figure them out, I can't teach them how to ask for what they want in acceptable ways.

Anyway, if I was reading Sean, he would be saying he has fun with Lindsay, he has respect and sympathy for AshLee, and he wants a life with Catherine but he is still trying to figure her out.
[list=1][*]

There is no human on the planet who I would describe as 'feral'!!!!!

Sadly, I have 2 relatives - 1 a child, 1 an adult - who suffer at the extreme low-functioning end of autism, and I'd have to agree that the closest English-language term to describe their state of existence would be "feral". (Note here: I am not calling them feral, nor have I ever done so. I am just agreeing that the term best describes their plight to the average person.) Sometimes not sugar-coating it helps people to see how extreme it is, and hopefully, helps them to be more outraged, sympathetic, and yearning to help their fellow man. I believe most people who are not exposed to people with this plight do not understand how bad it can get.

@officeRules and others - I am deeply humbled and grateful to you for the work you do to help people trapped in extreme mental states such as this.

I would be/am outraged that someone would describe a member of my family as feral .. It goes far beyond calling them Retarded .. Which is bad enough. As a professional health care provider hopefully training has provided one with the correct terms when referring to those sooo much less fortunate than ourselves.
