[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire thread is crazy to me.  Having a visitor, who you can expect to mostly take care of herself (YOU set the ground rules for your home), will not be costing OP much of anything.  She is a college student, not an ES kid, and won't need babysitting - just a key, bed, and shower.

I would set the rules up front (long before she arrives), buy your own food/meals, be responsible for your own transportation, lock the house when you leave, no smoking, shower limit to 10 or 15 minutes (just say you have a small water heater or an expensive water bill, whatever), no whatever else is important to you, and tell her you are looking forward to getting to know her better.

No charging anyone anything.  Family helps each other out![/quote]

She is on the spectrum. I just responded to another post as the parent of a child on the spectrum myself. There is a good chance she is not emotionally an adult yet.So, it is more like having a tween/teen and they do need qadult assistance and some supervision.[/quote]
