About him

About him(“Spencer Reid was born on October 12, 1981 to William Reid and Diana Reid. He graduated from high school at the age of twelve. In his youth, his father left him and his mother as he could no longer deal with her paranoid schizophrenia, among other things. Reid once mentioned that he was a victim of bullying in school where he was stripped naked and tied to a goalpost in front of other students. After waiting for all the other teenagers to leave, he walked home, only to find that his mother had not noticed he was so late to return because she had been having one of her schizophrenic episodes. Reid grew up learning nearly everything he knows from books, with his mother (a college professor of 15th-century literature) often reading to him. Still, Reid knew that the way his mother was living wasn't healthy. When he was eighteen, he had Diana placed in a mental institution. Until years later, she resided in that same mental institution and Reid had stated that he sent letters to Diana every day because of the guilt he felt for not visiting her. Reid is also worried about the fact that his mother's illness can be passed on genetically; he once told Morgan that "I know what it's like to be afraid of your own mind". Reid has an eidetic memory, meaning that he can remember an exceedingly large amount of information with extraordinary detail. This, however, only definitely applies to information gathered visually (especially things he's read, as implied with the word eidetic). However, his ability to retain auditory information has been rather inconsistent, as evident when he once noted he could not remember Garcia's name. Despite that, he has been able to perfectly recite speech he hears, even when it was in a completely different language of which he didn't speak a word. Reid is noted for his social awkwardness and prodigal brilliance, which draws on his analytical way of thinking and establishes him as the encyclopedic brainiac of the group.

About him

He has an affinity for words - from reading and scrutinizing texts at an astounding 20,000 words per minute (an average American adult reads text at 200–300 words per minute) and his rambling of long explanations and tangents (prompting Morgan and other team members to have to tell him to be quiet). He tends to miss social cues at times (for example, unknowingly changing the subject of a conversation). Reid also had a hard time feeling empathy, among other emotions, until after the events of season two, until he died for a matter of seconds and then came to live again. Reid is a technophobe and does not use either email or the new iPads. Spencer Reid is also germaphobic. On par with bring an eccentric genius with trouble at conforming to social behavior, the show has hinted at symptoms correlated with schizophrenia, (minor) autism, and Asperger's Syndrome, as evident by his bursts of long-winded commentary, his impressive academic history (three PhDs in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering) in a short amount of time, and adverse reactions when touched by strangers. It is speculated that he may also have slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. Where Morgan slightly moves an item in the home of Marcus Talbot (who suffers from it), and Reid immediately places it back to its previous spot. Despite his odd demeanor, and his family's history of mental illness, he has never been diagnosed with an official condition. Reid joined the BAU at age 22. Though he went to the FBI academy, he had trouble with just about everything that wasn't book-related, including marksmanship, physical training, and obstacle courses. In the end, they had to make special exceptions to get him into the field. It is unknown if Reid has epilepsy, as the subject was never brought up by any doctor or team member. Though he had at least 3 seizures, they stemmed from the trauma he sustained with the explosion and being tortured.

About him

Based on the later episodes, Reid does not seem to suffer any after-effects. His sidearm is a Smith & Wesson Model 65 revolver with a three-inch barrel and wood-colored grips. He keeps his sidearm in an unusual appendix-carry, which was noted by a militia member, who said that the way Reid was carrying the gun, he was "just begging someone to take it off him". He holds PhDs in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering and BAs in Psychology and Sociology. He was working on receiving a BA in Philosophy and may have gotten it by now. He also displays expert knowledge of forensic anthropology, being able to determine the sex and race of the skeletal remains. He showed knowledge of skeletal remains when he was able to identify the gender of a body based on the pelvic structure. He considered studying the classics (literature) but had previously read all of the course material so he opted to go to Caltech and study Mathematics instead. He also mentions graduating from MIT. Reid has an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and can read 20,000 words per minute. He is an expert on historical serial killers, statistics, geographic profiling, graphology, and body language. He also seems to display fast counting skills, possibly related to his card counting skills, both of which skills have been observed in multiple occasions. He is able to read in some foreign languages. Over the years, he improved his Russian comprehensive skills and understands it well enough to watch a five-hour movie in the language and can speak it. He says to get by with Yoruba (A language spoken in West Africa and most prominently Southwestern Nigeria). Like many "brainiac" types, Reid tends to ramble on when the conversation leads to a subject with which he is very familiar. This tendency is somewhat annoying to his peers and they often verbally shush him or respond to him with blank stares.

About him

This is also a trait of autism called information dumping or info dumping. He is the only main character to appear in the opening sequence of every episode. He went to public school in Las Vegas and was frequently bullied. In one incident, he was ambushed by the entire football team; they stripped him naked, tied him to a goalpost, and tormented him in front of half the school until they grew bored and left. It was implied that he may have asked for extra-credit work and offered to clean classrooms for teachers (being on extra good behavior) to compensate for his father's absence and mother's mental instability. His mother was a professor of 15th-century literature and read many things to him, including some of the earliest Valentine's poems. His father is an attorney who works longer hours than the BAU team and has "a very sick cat". Reid claimed to have improved his social status in school by "coaching" the basketball team. He used mathematics to figure out plays and advise the team, which led to them winning more. He had an uncle named Daniel, who died when Reid was young. He also has an uncle named Gordon who lives in Las Vegas. He has an aunt named Ethel, who thinks his hair is too long. Yale was his backup school. He is an avid Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who fan. He dressed as the Fourth Doctor from Doctor Who while going to a convention with Garcia. He knitted his own scarf for the costume. He likes soap operas. He is a skilled illusionist. He dislikes creamed spinach but likes Indian food. He is an avid coffee drinker.

About him

He stated that if the coffee was to be cut, he'd quit the BAU (Rossi claimed, possibly jokingly, he spends at least $50 a week on it). He seemed to drink less coffee and instead was seen drinking green tea, likely in response to his headaches. He may have continued drinking it even after his headaches subsided since, during a personal crisis, he brought a cup of green tea to Morgan instead of coffee so it wouldn't "make him as jittery". However six years later he had started drinking coffee regularly again. He has trouble using chopsticks and says using them is like trying to forage for food with a pair of number two pencils. He is good at playing cards and won over $2,000 while playing on a machine in Las Vegas, but he let a "hooker" keep his winnings. He is the godfather to JJ's sons Henry and Michael. Morgan partially named his son Hank after Reid, giving him the name "Hank Spencer Morgan" and is also his godfather.”) Traumas("Had dilaudid problems at his 22s" + "Possibly Alzheimer syndrome or schizophrenic")
