[QUOTE="ElscottHavoc, post: 14554647, member: 93145"] Thanks for the input. Thats actually an interesting way of thinking about it and as I've been processing this, I guess haven't considered the fact that it could enable problems further. I'm sure its probably a bit of both. I'm confident in that hes struggling with an intellectual disorder, but I won't discredit the fact he's mooching off the perks of living at home without responsibilities. Even the clients my wife works with who have severe intellectual disorders have an oddly "mature" concept of how to use the system in the favor. I mean, an evaluation that officiates my thoughts might add fuel to the fire of course, and also if I'm wrong it could be a complete embarassment to him and me as well. However, I also wonder if having a better understanding of what he's going through (considering I'm correct) could allow us to take appropriate action for assisting him and transitioning him into a more normal life. I know most people are probabky just assuming he is messy and cluttered, but its honestly more than that if but difficult to explain without actually experiencing and being around it. Originally, yes I just thought he was messy and lazy, but the way he becomes attached to essentially worthless objects is beyond being too lazy to walk downstairs and toss away garbage. For instance, when we my sister had a falling out with our family a few years ago (she has different father who is dead, eloping with guy parents didn't know, borrowed money, drinking problems, etc) for reasons I still don't comprehend fully, he started going through basement boxes and lining his bed stand with her old art projects she made in elementary school. She was maybe 28 at the time and my brother was 16. Then he'd stay up all night long watching family videos of her over and over and over again. My thought was that he was almost mentally locked into an age where the relationship we all had with my sister was still okay...I don't know, maybe that's crazy talk myself. [/QUOTE]
