ProTourist June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Wanda said: My feelings about him being on the spectrum (I have a sadly extreme amount of experience) comes from his initial story. His childhood stories and photos pinged my radar. The biting was a red flag. The extreme reactions, again, right from childhood if his story is to be believed. 80% of all marriages with autistic children end in divorce. If his father couldn’t handle an “odd” son that could explain his checking out and his mother being over protective. And he could be more towards the aspergers’ end so his ability to happily drop out of life (no social skills), but be quite verbal and intelligent when he wants to be could be explained. Again, just a theory. It could also explain his inability to get himself roused to save his own life because he had convinced himself life was awful, nothing good could ever happen to him, only bad things happen, etc. his Dr appointed therapies were all the wrong ones so they never had any hope of helping him. All he wanted was to be in a safe space. Agree completely, thank you. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94044-s07e24-sean-live-chat/page/14/#findComment-5370109

I get my retirement check the first of the month and the SS on the 2nd Wed of the month. I worked 32 years in county government and loved my job. I lucked out in that so many others in the department had already retired that they had to give me an incentive to stay on to train my successor. So I asked for what I thought they would never agree to and surprise... they did. It made a huge difference in my monthly pension. So I enjoy have extra disposable income to treat my nieces and nephews, help them out with contributions to their purchase of a home or school. Just having my days to myself, I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do.

The point of placement in a psychiatric facility would not have been controlled diet, but for him to receive the intensive psychiatric care that he needed, if he were going to have a chance to turn his life around.
