The general consensus is that his parents, who have legal guardianship of him because of his health issues, have probably taken away his postmo or exmo computer privileges, so he can't get on this site anymore. I hope that's just the case, but also hope that he can come back eventually, sooner rather than later, if he wants.
I have Asperger's and have a payee too -- but I'm otherwise independant. It seems like his parents don't necessarily have his best interests in mind so it would be nice if there were some way to help him gain more independence. But what do I know? :)
No, his parents' don't have his best interests at heart. But when Susan I/S and a CPA who is a regular poster (I apologize for forgetting his name) checked into it, they decided nothing can be done.
The Morg creates bad situations that hard very difficult to fix.
I am the CPA. I am also knowledgeable in Social Security benefits and guardianship within Social Security. I have written to him and am waiting for a response. I will let you know if I hear from him.
the payee/guardianship thing is meant to help people who aren't able to make decisions in their own best interests.
But keeping him away from RfM, which I think was always a big source of support for him, may not be one of the best things do to if that indeed is the problem.
I hope you let him know that we miss him and we are all in his corner. The poor guy has been through a lot and he has buddies here who care!
I just worry that anyone they know is from here will cause more problems..... I am worried but just do not know what to do. I used to have other avenues of contact but right now I don't. Hate sit and wait mode....
To be fair, we only have one side of the story here,Southern Idaho Inactive's. He does have Aspergers and a tendency to run up big credit card debts. I suspect his parents have a story to tell too.He may well need to have a guardian, I don't know that, but am saying his parents may have a very different version than what we have heard. At any rate, I hope he is okay.He has always managed to post before so I hope he isn't ill or in the midst of family problems. His mother had had surgery, his father was suffering depression and his sister who is not married and has a baby had just been kicked out. All sorts of things going on plus the fact that he has a cancer history,Any of those could be factors.

I'm sorry to hear that, because he had so many friends on this board! I miss his stories and news updates.
My brother has asperger's, and there are varying degrees of it. My brother is capable of living alone, but he's an mark for greedy relatives, and for the Mormon cult.
I would NEVER try to separate my brother from the Mormon church, because he depends on it for friends. He leans heavily on people in his ward, and lives from one Sunday to the next.
I feel it is a crime that Curious in Idaho/Southernidahoinactive isn't allowed to communicate with us anymore.
