[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see why some are responding that way - but I'm not a psychologist or therapist, and while researching this topic I've found that some researchers call this "AED" while others call it "boomerang kids," or "failure to launch." I'm not sure of the true clinical categorization. If anyone is so inclined, they can look up the work of Dr. Eli Lebowitz of Yale University - he may have coined AED, not sure.
