[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686212, member: 1550"] Dude, and I mean this nicely now, this adult sounds like hes on the autism spectrum. They have huge anxiety, tend to talk to themselves out loud, rocking is HUGE and social skills need teaching. If he does have it, expecting him to "figure it out' will not happen without adult supports. I have a mildly Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son who does all the things yours does, minus the pot. He had interventions all his life and lives alone and is doing well, but he is different in some ways. But, boy, has he progressed. He works and also gets ssi. Pays his own bills. Is very well behaved and is maturing. But still talks to himself or sings to himself when alone...I do think it helps soothe him as did the rocking. His social skills have improved immensely...autism causes delays including in maturity and causes learning problems and severe sovial problems. in my opinion the ADHD diagnosis was probably wrong. This could be why he struggles so much. [/QUOTE]
