Halfwit's reactions were not "drama" because halfwit was reacting in the way that he could best react with the brain that god gave him.
A severe dyslexic, he was flustered and unable to talk.
I found it quite admirable to be fair how he was able to disassociate himself from his physical reactions, telling himself and others, that it was his body that was reaction. He was very lucid and specific about the phrases that had been spoken to him, which showed him doing the opposite of being a drama queen - which is to otherwise conflate the facts and exaggerate, and deepen one's own upset through allowing the imagination to reauthor the actions that have just past.
I really felt for him but I hope he pulls through. He's a good guy at his heart, which is enough for me.
He is very different and a little odd due to his dyslexia but I don't hold it against him.

I agree that Freddie reacted as he would but not simply on the basis of his 'God-given' (I don't believe in God so that was short-hand) mind. He shows all the signs of having been taught coping strategies through Neuro-Lingistic-Programming (NLP). The vocalisations Uums, ahs, oohs) are part of the training. His self control and dissociation of mental and body reactions is also part of this training.
One of the problems of this NLP is that it make him a highly suggestible individual and Marcus, who is clearly highly intelligent, has played on this in a reprehensible (unforivable) way.

NLP is charlatan science, and it certainly is not a 1st line therapy for learning disabilities. Freddie doesn't talk slowly and umm and ahh because he did Master Practitioner Training with Bandler.
This is the most nonsensical idea yet.
Freddie is suggestible because he is quite agreeable.
