What bothers me about Simon is that he has a comb-over which indicates that he is obsessing about the way he is viewed and in the context of the story that he is telling seems strange, that it is worrying to him. It is quite a complicated and obvious comb-over that must need regular maintenance. The fear that this sort f behaviour is born from must (to him) be quite profound. When and why did his fear of baldness happen if he knows that he is 'The special one'? This is not an ad hominem attack, it's a legitimate question. Also someone who collects lots of pets, cars or anything else indicates profound insecurity and lack of core self esteem as these animals and things are used as a proxy and given status that we would expect to give to parents, family or other humans. These animals and things are even given a higher status than the person himself or his peers and family. In a way it's an abdication of responsibility for not being able to come to terms with, or deal with, existential angst or deep trauma. It's an externalization and building of a framework to avoid some profound internal truth, or, the perception of that. Another thing is the use of infantile language to try to tell the story and the hoping that the interviewer will accept it from that perspective and accept the person as only a child who cannot and should not, be held resposible and therfor be empathic and supportive. I also notice that when he is questioned (put on the spot) he seems to 'play dumb' or becomes 'passive aggressive' which serves to disconcert the interviewer and stop the questioner in his/her tracks. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't a victim of Tavistock or MkUltra type manipulation in childhood considering his background and family being involved in three letter agencies.
