[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that OPs son is on his way to beings quite a ride individual, especially to people trying to help him. 
Refusing to acknowledge his aSD or even read up in aspergers is a major impediment to his future quality of life at work or with any personal relationships. Refusing help, suggestions and advice is the next nail in the coffin.

If he won’t get help relative soon he will be a failure to launch case, and OP will have to live him but detach from any expectations. He will find his people once not enabled. [/quote]

What are you suggesting, PP?

"Not enabled"? What does that mean?

Kick him out on the street? Stop doing what? I'm doing nothing for him, but offering support and gentle urging, but he won't listen to anything I say. I feed and house him, but that's it. No other support, aside from emotional support, but he doesn't want emotional support from DH or me.

He has HFASD! He doesn't know he's disabled because he's so exceptionally smart in his area of expertise. I've tried, gently, to explain this to him. I've offered to pay for a counselor to speak with him. I'll now, thanks to suggestions here, offer to pay for an interview coach in case he'll listen to a coach.
