Mute and/or reclusive family members

[AnotherDayComeMonday]

Anyone else out there dealing with this?

What's the issue? Surely is their choice unless there's a mental health problem and they are clearly unwell.

I will be. There’s a lot of ASD in the family. At the moment one relative still lives with elderly parents. Eventually he won’t. I’m worried about what that will look like for a host of reasons.

He is however mainly personally competent- he won’t hoard and will eat- but finance will be a big problem. He might not know about how bills and banks work. We’ve been paying into his pension for years, as he otherwise won’t have one.

And my son. Eventually. When we move away, he will be very isolated. But competent. Just, won’t go out except to work.

Yes, but we let them live their life how they want. But they have an adult child with ASD, can’t be left alone, and I’m not sure what will happen when the parent dies. But the parent has had long enough to sort it themselves, and I know that there has been SS involvement in the past.
