[QUOTE="rktman, post: 749981, member: 18139"] So after many years of dealing with our troubled son (now 24), we have a relatively stable condition (we know it won't last). He lives in an apartment area that we built inside our detached shop. He still has many issues (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/ADHD, Tourettes, etc), but the one that drives me crazy is the inability to clean or organize anything (himself, his vehicle, and especially his apartment). He will not shave, showers intermittently, yada, yada. His truck(that we maintain) is a trash heap. His apartment is a mess. We check it and clean it every month or so. He constantly lies and makes excuses about cleaning the apartment says "he is working on it". Its getting to the point that we just cant do it anymore. We've tried the tough love (clean or leave), but he would just leave, get off his medications, and create a whole new cycle of chaos for us. There has to be something we can tell his therapist or neurologist that might help treat this particular problem? Any advice is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
