[quote=Anonymous]My sister, 49, is on the autism spectrum, although she has never been formally diagnosed because as an adult she refuses to get a diagnosis. She lives with my elderly parents because she cannot support herself. Her main challenge is socialization, and she has been let go of jobs because she doesn’t read social cues and can be difficult to be around. She did not graduate college, but she is smart (and she thinks she knows everything!) Years ago, my parents housed her in her own place. She is a hoarder and essentially trashed that home. So she has lived with them for many years, her hoarding limited to her room. It is becoming unsustainable for them in their older years because she becoming more difficult to live with. What are possible solutions? We are really at a loss on how to proceed as a family. [/quote]
