I hope this reconnection doesn't put him into a situation he fled from and start a recycle of abuse. I hope he gets the help he needs, which is hard for autistic adults especially getting out into the world this way. Just because he was homeless and pushing a cart, doesn't mean he doesn't know how the world treats him and he had the ability to do his best not to give his name. He will likely repeat similar transient behavior. Which maybe that's not the worst thing in the world if he can get some better care. I know some delightful autistic hobos. The world doesn't want them for normal jobs and they're perfectly happy to camp, hop trains, and sing songs. It's a dangerous life but it's not a wrong life to choose. I don't need to know the drama of his struggle, but I just really hope people that can help him find a life that is less cold and more fulfilling and whoever put in him the need to walk away doesn't get to put that on him again.
