[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 488113"] You might consider reading a book called "Boundaries: When to say yes and when to say no" by Cloud and Townsend. Not sure, but I believe they are coming from a Christian perspective. ESPECIALLY at his age (over 18) setting limits and boundaries is imperative. Even if he has special needs, it makes little to no difference. YOu very likely are doing him a disservice if you do not set limits and boundaries in the home. It is a BIG plus that he likes his job. This is a bright light in a difficult situation and could very well be a source of self esteem and positive reinforcement for him. Is he currently seeing a doctor? It also sounds like it is very likely that he needs to see a physician (probably a psychiatrist) to determine if he needs to be on medication. Certainly, there are indications of a possible need. I hope he will consent to going for an exam. [/QUOTE]
