Our adult DD has same issues - the not settling down at night could be a sign of Bi-Polar. Highly recommend seeing a therapist who specializes in these areas. You never know how much better our life is now that we have  on her correctly assessed and on a monthly injectable (administered by the doctor).  Ours has Bi-Polar#2 which is the worst of the worst diseases and she suffers all the same issues as yours however, ours has an IQ of 45. We unfortunately won't get anywhere with counseling as she cannot comprehend the world around her.

We've had a bicycle lock on the fridge/freeze (didn't last long - she figured out how to break it and the fridge) and have resorted to a cabinet in our bedroom for anything she might eat from the pantry. The only thing in the main pantry are "inedible" grab-n-go's like rice, potatoes, seasoning packets, dog/cat food and canned foods. It's really sad, but it's reality - she's 5'8 and just under 300 lbs with sky-high cholesterol. She sneaks food and junk at the daytime program she attends, so the newest strategy for us is to work with the program administrators to only allow her access to her "packed" lunch. Unfortunately, there's no magic solution. Good luck to you both. [/quote]
