Anyone heard of David Merrell Gill?

Hi:
I am not sure if I am supposed to say his name on here but I was wondering if anyone in here has heard of him? He is an in his late 30's who has claimed to be on the spectrum. Not only does he go onto autism online forums but randomly adds people on facebook who don't know him. Apparently, he's obsessed with PBS logos and claims to be a Christian while trying to be a Christian musician. Yet:

1. He's very negative and trolls various autism forums
2. He's has done some other really inappropriate things

He requested to join one of my online support groups and started drawing all kinds of negative attention about how his life is bad while attacking all of my posts which was back in April. I thought that I had blocked him once and for all on facebook along with kicking him from my pages. Yet,he recently added me on Google but I blocked him there a few weeks ago.

If you get a request from him, don't add him and don't respond. Rather, please block him.

Ugh I used to be friends with him and he would always pressure me to send him inappropriate photos and I actually did send him some when I was 17 thinking I was the one taking advantage of him because I knew minor porn was illegal but I did it anyway. I now realize it was the other way around because he was the adult and I was the minor. A 14 year old may know it's illegal for minors to have sex with an adult but they decide to "consent" anyway to have it with a 35 year old thinking they are just taking advantage of the poor guy. Yeah if a two year old keeps begging their mother to kiss their butt or their little pee pee, they are not taking advantage of the parent. Instead the parent is at fault if they give in. David begged me for photos and pressured me and as a naive teen, I wanted to please him like most teens do with adults which is why the age of consent law exists. He has me blocked all over because I talked about him publicly online. Always plays the victim when people talk about him and what he does. He claims he has quit asking for inappropriate things but since this still gets brought up from time to time, I really doubt he has.

I also hear he has fake Facebook accounts so he will try and add people from there. But he doesn't ever bother me and I doubt he has tried adding me as someone else.

It never got to that point but he attacked my page and the things that I posted there. For instance, I do a series of vlogs on youtube and I happened to use a picture of Lisa Simpson. He said that he was offended because he found the show "The Simpsons" as disgusting.

He also attacked me because I happen to like Temple Grandin and he did this because he life is a mess and she's famous and successful.

He sounds like a troll.

He is a troll and a very smart one indeed by playing aspie/autistic very well but that's not all he is. This man is a predator targeting minors in the autism community.

He is also very negative and if you look at one of his Google pages, Gill has a vlog out that appears to be bashing the neurodiversity theories.

Moreover, I have heard stories of this man asking parents of other victims for money so he can get a new drumset for his "Christian music," while having several crowd-funding pages.

Wow... I knew him back in 2008... almost met him. He creeped my ex out and my ex threatened to call the cops. He's into watching people in the bathroom and that.

I didn't know that he was into watching people use the bathroom but I had heard that he wanted to make internet voice calls because he wants to hear them use the bathroom too.

Again, it didn't to that point with me. Rather, he played the victim on my page along with starting arguments such as the one that he started regarding Temple.

My gut tells me, he could be reading this very thread.

I've heard some very dodgy rumors about this "Christian musician" with Asperger's Syndrome (since hearing about him on the internet last year) which has ranged from allegations of sexual perversion; to being a child predator (autistic minors in particular), and as-well as a pervasive and dangerous interest in very impertinent activities that pertains to what's been retrospectively mentioned on this thread (I would not be surprised if he wanted to abolish age of consent laws).

I do know that there is sufficient online evidence that he has trolled the neurodiversity movement, has mocked other aspie/autistic people on other online autistic forums (regards of their beliefs) and I likewise fervently believe that the claims established against him have a lot of merited rationale (i remember them), and these are far, far from new as they have gone many years back even before I got involved in researching autism, as-well as discovering and assimilating my own Asperger identity.

Autists both minor and non-minor should spurn and pay no heed to what this guy does nor says and I'm suspiciously surprised why his activities have not been notified to any law enforcement authority (and if they have why are these being ignored). The fact that constantly adds random people from his social networking accounts (including the fake ones) says it all.

If he makes fun of others on the spectrum then he's definitely not on the spectrum himself. Rather, he sounds more like a cyber bully to me who is very self-absorbed.

As for him wanting attention, we aren't supposed to be "Feeding the trolls" or so they say. In this case, it's time for us to stand up speak up and let him know that "He's not welcome" to spin his little webs in the autism communities anymore. I don't know about the rest of you but I am not going to let him hurt anyone else.

I have heard from others on Facebook he has been reported to authorities and all he gets is a slap in the wrist and they won't do anything about it. It's only up to minors to take screenshots of their chat when he does it and then show it to authorities. But apparently what he does isn't illegal. It's not like he meets up with them to have sex or do any sexual activities. Because it's our word against his, we're all lying, his exact words.

There was even a Facebook group about him and he got it shut down by manipulating people to report it.
