Asperger's Syndrome is a form of autism. Police say it may make Nathan seem rude but not violent. Those who may comes across Nathan are asked to calmly talk with him but don’t touch him because that will cause him to shut down. He will use passive resistance and will most likely go limp. 

Nathan is a white male, 6 feet 3 inches tall, 150 pounds, with short light brown hair, brown eyes and no facial hair. He has a scar on his left elbow and his right big toenail was ripped off recently. Nathan was wearing khaki pants, a long-sleeve button-down shirt (unknown color), carrying a black backpack with fishing pole sticking out of it, and wearing a silver bike helmet. The black mountain bike had a rack on the back with saddle bags.
