He has been forgiven multiple times, all of which ended with misbehavior.

As for what he has been through, it is neither an excuse for what he done, nor is it an excuse to let him back on here. I probably already have established this, but I don't think there is ever a good enough excuse for any kind of bad behavior. In fact, we are doing him a favor because we are teaching him about the real world: negative actions have consequences.

This might be a stretch, but what if he commits an actual crime someday? We might be giving him the impression that "Well... I have autism and I've been through a lot" is a good legal defense. In fact if he does commit a crime, he will be thinking "Yeah, this is illegal but if I give a sob story I will be cleared of all charges" before he commits it. Yeah, I know all this is a stretch, but still.

On top of that Popstar792 has been running herself ragged over this (I'm sure others have been too, but her especially), are we really supposed to just look past that just because of things that supposably happened to him?

As I've said, there is no good excuse for bad behavior. Not mental illness, not being through stuff, not having a hard life, NOTHING! Most people in this world have had bad things happen to them, and they cannot just use it as an excuse.

He should not be allowed back on here at all. Neither as a bureaucrat nor as a user. If he is let back as just a user he will probably go around blanking pages and vandalising them in any way he can.
