[quote=Anonymous]You're making some assumptions. He very well could have autism but you've only observed him a little bit. I work with quite a few homeless individuals and know a few with schizophrenia who would fit that description. I also know of one male with autism who is homeless pretty much by choice. He refuses any and all help and the only time he receives any is when he ends up in the hospital with an infection. Not saying he doesn't deserve help, but it's wise to get the whole picture before jumping to things like taking him into your home. Connect with APS and a local homeless organization. They should be able to give you resources and advice. One organization near me(not in the DC area) has volunteers who are trained to approach and provide help and resources to individuals on the streets. [/quote]
