Parents desperate to find son with autism

Crossbreed said:
Since he is an adult, not under a guardianship, he is free to roam as he has.

My 31yo son [ASD2] has a mental age of 6-10yo. If he had complete access to his money, he would squander it, neglecting his rent, etc. SSI requires him to have a representative payee to manage the basics, and, then, turn over his discretionary income to him.

Those two factors [a payee & limited discretionary income] keep him from wandering away from all accountability.

Glad to hear what; what info?

Is your nephew under a guardianship? (Most ASD3s are.)


It could be that he has been manipulated into being a captive, or worse...! (Parents want to, at least, know that their son is safe.")

I'm sure the surrounding issues are still salient, today.

Crossbreed is correct about needing to have a payee and trust. It is necessary to insure not only that the beneficiary receive a set amount, but also to insure they don't lose whatever government support they have. The payees can be family members or professional payees.
