To not let DDs drunk friend stay

DD(18) is bestfriends with a boy that is autistic, they get on well and he seems to listen to DD and his mum has said in the past DD seems to just get him.

This evening he went to a party with another friend, DD didn't go as only people who attended his secondary school were invited and DD didn't. The friend has just messaged DD saying he was fighting with someone, she doesn't know why as she wasn't with him at the time and he was refusing to leave. DD messaged him and he agreed to but is asking if he can sleep here and not at the other friends as he's slept here a few times so he's used to it where as he's never slept at the friends house.

WIBU to say no? Apparently his parents are away so he's staying with another family member who won't be happy if he goes home drunk

I'm a single woman and have never had any issues with DD's male friends being in the house. As I said we live near town and her friends don't so we get drunken 18-20yo's regularly. If they've gotten too drunk to get into a taxi or spent their taxi money they come here, mostly when DD is home but I did have one friend of hers text me drunk from his mates house a few doors up the street when DD was out asking if he could sleep in the front garden because his mate had locked him out and he was too drunk to walk home.

Most of them order hangover food in the am and always get both DDs some. I even get offered some occasionally.

Once in the house they go straight to bed and pass out until midday the next day.

My mum was the crash pad for all the drunk idiots in my friend group. And I will be as well.

However, if I didn't feel safe, I wouldn't. Is there a particular reason this boy feels unsafe?

I would let him but we seem to be the crash pad for DD's drunken friends, probably because we live a 10 minute walk from town and all her friends live further out.

Tbf to them they never cause any bother beyond falling asleep on the bathroom floor and DD always deals with that.

That’s hilarious.
you’re such a great parent for allowing that too.

Same, we’ve all been there.
