Little brother with autism trying to deal with passp8rt?

My brother has autism and unfortunately threw his old passport in the bin.

He tried to avoid me earlier (phone) and I was slightly puzzled then suddenly realised this might be difficult for him.

I could fill in new passport form for him and post off but he needs to get photo booth done and get them signed.

I'm not sure whether to write out the form myself and post it to him or gently guide him through doing it?

@ElizabethMainwaring you got the wrong end of the stick...estate agents made a mistake and I was exhausted trying to think what else they needed. It's all done and I've moved in.

The last thing I would do is throw my passport away. I have mine, and it's valid until 2029.

My brother because of his autism thought his didn't work anymore as it had expired and threw his away. This makes it more complicated to get him a replacement.

I only read this this morning as I couldn't sleep and started thinking about his passport problem and felt incredulous at the level of bullying. I mentioned it to a couple of people IRL and they just started laughing and said you were probably a hairy trucker in his underpants scratching his balls.

You deliberately did a search on me and followed me here to derail the thread.

You're referencing a deleted thread and I have a specialist domestic violence agency to deal with my mother.

So then, since you are an expert, and my brother is frightened to go out without me, how do I persuade him to get his new passport photos done and signed without me travelling a few hours to him?

Original point of the thread.

So in absence of any constructive advice:

A) I have to phone post office nearest my brother
B) find out if they can do photos in house or who can and where
C) line up a signatory
D) travel there and make sure this is done
E) check the forms

You made a horrific mistake @ElizabethMainwaring not reading properly and thinking I was asking about myself.

You may put off people posting on this forum.

To make it clear: my BROTHER with AUTISM cannot manage to do his passport by himself. I was so hoping he could.

Anyone I mentioned it to today just started creasing up that you lacked the comprehension skills.

Have you got anything against people with autism or a disability?
