If the mods have IP logging on posts they could try seeing if this IP is from a different country / region than the one that registered. If the account is hacked there is a good chance it is ... it's also posible Bradley left him self logged in and has a relative / house mate who is a massive troll.
I hope so Bees, It could be that this person is indeed autistic and just needs a little help into how to act on line. So although this is all upsetting for the real Bradley and others on here, good to keep an open mind as to the mind frame of the fake Bradley who might be facing serious issues in life and could benefit from a bit of help like a support worker or counselling.

If what you say is the case, and it is some students, or someone or a group of people making fun of autistics then they are a bunch of very cruel people. A lot of their best lecturers will be actually autistic and the students or group doing that sort of stuff to wind us up might very well be autistic themselves and no know it.
But, from what I have read from the person(s) in question their posts and comments are very pre-teen like. So they sound like they are at school level, however the person(s) in question may indeed be autistic and just that they have an interest in winding people up etc so it would be beneficial for that person to have some counselling and seek help to get out of what is a bad habit, so that they can learn to communicate more respectfully towards others and benefit from that.
That is also a possibility tbh, tho I would hate for us to accidentally start a witch hunt on the wrong person too, it's not acceptable what is happening to the real Bradley, but I can't rule out that the account attached to the tag nas86121 hasn't been hacked when I go through their thread/reply history. It's a very low and deceptive thing to abuse the username feature like that though so with the hateful recent posts being made it doesn't look good. I hope the mods can get to the bottom of it.
Yes, it is anti-autistic and is maybe someone thinking they are having a laugh.
But it shows to me that the person pretending to be Bradley has bad mental health. They should seek out help and hopefully they will get the help that they urgently need.
Because it would be irresponsible for me to sit on additional findings that may give context. Nas86121 originally showed no red flags of manipulative or trouble making behaviour but engaged in the forum in a genuine and caring way https://community.autism.org.uk/f/parents-and-carers/31339/please-show-equality-to-your-autistic-adult-child if anything hostile comes from them we need to report it but be aware that the original user may not be the person who is posting now. There is no evidence to suggest that this is not the result of a hack of the account in question.Full quote here in case account is hacked and hacker tries to edit that post in the link:
To parents / carers, I lost a very good friend (Daniel) it turned out his mother used me to be his unofficial support despite I only wanted to be his friend and she knew I had boundary issues! I assisted her increasing his PIP from low DLA care & no mobility to enhanced care & mobility and he was for a very short period βelatedβ until his mother told him βALL the PIP is MY money as I am leaving work now!β His sister told me in front of Daniel βhe only gets Β£20 allowance per weekβ with a smile on her face! His weekly benefits income was/is nearly Β£300! His sister was given Β£2,000 from their Nan, two driving lessons per week and upon passing her test their mum gave her the family car (worth just over Β£4,000) and the mother took out a loan to buy another slightly newer car! The sister constantly refused to claim UC a seven when she gained a job refused to contribute to household expenses until stood up for Daniel and then it was only buying weekly groceries (their mum probably gave her some money towards it?) Daniel needed and wanted external support but his mother actually told me she didnβt want external people knowing certain personal family matters? Daniel did ask for a referral and his mum contacted but made sure they never was able to contact her knowing they would give up / he would give up! For him I wrote up a very well written request for a care (act) assessment which I sent to the βfirst point of contactβ and they were so impressed they assumed I was a professional and forwarded it to the appropriate social work team - unfortunately his mum was a social worker / ex local authority employee and they accepted her saying he had changed his mind! (This was pressure she and his sister put on him!) our friendship was allowed to continue but after I took him out for a film / social meal which few others joined us he really enjoyed himself until he arrived home whereby his sister verbally attacked him for seeing me! He ended our friendship that evening! so I put a safeguarding concern but due to his mother being a ex social worker / employee it was very quickly ignored! not long ago someone who goes over once a month stated βDaniel gets on better with his mother & sisterβ This shows he did try to stand up to them but sadly gave up for a quiet life! please donβt treat your adult child the same all siblings should when possible contribute the same! If you are able to work to be less reliant on PIP do soβ¦ remember PIP is supposed to βenhanceβ a disabled persons life? Itβs not black & white but you should aim for that!!

It’s a glitch in the system, anyone can call themselves deleted user and anyone can use an identical name to another user. I could technically change my username to yours and use your avatar, obviously I wouldn’t.
Deleted user thought someone who left
Yes I noticed with a recent user, anyone can actually call themselves, deleted user.
Also @ Roy
Yes but you can change your username to anything, you just see me as "bees" but realy it is nas83550 (that is my tag), I could on a whim make my username look like another "nasxxxxx" any time for example, which seems to be what fake bradley did initially (and could do again before all this is over).
Hi, it’s happened before, occasionally a group of students at a Uni think it’s funny to make fun of us. This is only my opinion, obviously most students are decent people.
I had a brief look at the archive posts and no number is above 9k.
What do you mean, someone is playing with us? Hopefully can be resolved soon.
I’ve looked through the posts and to be honest, I thought the NAS generated number was unusual from day one, the generated numbers aren’t into the 9,000 plus digits. I also noticed a lot of posts have outsourced links. We are either being canvassed and studied by the back door or someone is just playing with us. I hope it doesn’t turn into a sh*t storm and some of the younger people end up leaving. To think autistic people won’t notice detail is never going to work.

Kerri-ModKarin ModPlease be aware the user ( @nas86121 ) causing the issues in question has apparently been changing usernames quite a bit, @nas91091 doesn't exist at this time:
It is nas86121 in the @ feature and on the profile page btw, not sure if "nas 91091" was just a red herring username they used.
Astrid said:BEWARE: The person above IS NOT THE REAL Bradley! but he/they/she is imitating the real Bradley they changed their name on this page to match Bradley's . Bradley who posted this post is the REAL Bradley but this Bradley is intimidating him. Hid user name was NAS91091
Astrid
This "Bradley" (nas86121) is a troll deliberately trying to aggitate our community here, on another thread they said autists are criminals
[quotes removed by moderator]
and then proposed a conspiracy theory that autists who don't understand social norms are faking it and would adjust to avoid prison, along with using an unverfiable anecdote to pose another conspiracy theory that social services withhold support so that other entities will pick up the bill (as opposed to just being woefully underfunded) and implies that "care & support" is just enabling autists to commite crimes.
nas86121 is making it abundantly clear they are a hateful anti-autist here to spread disharmony and provoke members of this forum.
I think the word blogs is being used but what is really meant is threads.
I have just seen this. The member replying to you was NAS91091and now they have changed their name to Bradley. What is going on, please? It's quite distressing.
