Ds is 20 and has aspergers, dyspraxia and dyslexia, and is still burying his head in the financial sand and i just dont think i can do anything more for him.

He is rubbish with money, he has stolen from me, taken huge interest pay day loans, secretly got and spent to the limit on a credit card and run up 2 bank accounts to their maximum overdrafts.

i thought we had finally sorted it but this month he has come to me in a panic wanting money. I have asked why and to sit with him to see what has gone wrong again, (i have had his bank card so i thought he couldnt spend) but he is refusing to show me what the money has gone on.

i am refusing to help unless he does.
so stalemate

i am worried that he is taking out debt and using our home address to get credit that he cannot pay.

he has gone for a walk and im here feeling shit. Yesterday i spend the entire day at uni with him for his DSA assessment and sorting out his accommodation.

today, i feel like i have no choice but to ask him to leave.
help.

no actually she *taught me

Book recommendation for DS Why do buses come in threes? the hidden mathematics of everyday life by Rob Eastaway and Jeremy Wyndham. Even the best programmers can program erroneous logic into a program, no good if the code is right but the premises are wrong. And this book helps not to fall into this trap.

Is he getting a student loan? I can't keep up with how students are funded... DS (now 23) got one for 3 acadmic years from 2006-2009

yes, he will get a student loan. he has had the grant and a tuition fee loan for the last 2 years but this year he will need a full loan - tuition fee, and maintenance loan plus whatever grant he can get.
