Found me on pof and won't take no for an answer. He keeps messaging me. I try to ignore him but it's annoying.

Can you block him on POF? I would think there's the ability to block him. IF not, tell him directly to stop messaging you. Nothing wrong with saying no and drawing a boundary.

I don't know how to block. I've hidden my profile, he still messages. I did delete the messages hoping that is like blocking him. Never did that before.

Unfortunately there are people out there who struggle with autism and they dont even know they have autism.

First, I would message him and ask him, "please get in contact with a psychologist so they can help you through this struggle of letting go of me".

Second, clearly message him saying, "please do not contact me".

Third, if he continues to contact u, do not respond no matter what he says!!!!! If you respond to anything he says after telling him to not contact you; you will be seem as unstable and the police or court will not listen to you.
You will need to go to the police, which they will file a no contact restraining order or they will keep your pictures/ print out of what he has messaged you about and keep it on file for later use. Which doesnt sound very helpful at that particular moment, but in the long run can be helpful.
Thanks for this!

People with autism, particularly asperger's (which isnt used as much anymore) tend to mimic stocking symptoms and this is why they need help from a psychologist or family member to help them refocus the fixation of knowing "why". There fixation on why can make it seem like they are stocking.

Personally, I believe that someone who has asperger's tend to get confused on social skills and that's why it is hard for them to stop fixating on why and what they did in the relationship or relationship they thought they had.

If it goes beyond why and what happened, then u are at risk and need help from the cops because that is not autism or asperger's, that is becoming unsafe.

I know what autism is. I just don’t understand why you are talking about autism? Did Aviza say her ex has autism? Otherwise why are you diagnosing him just based on him bothering his ex girlfriend. Confused...

Not diagnosing at all. Sorry for giving that perception. Just answering ur question and giving other perspectives.
