My friend needs a place to stay...should I invite him to live with me?

[Spider-Aziz]

I live with my parents, but unlike Kelvin's parents, they know it would be unwise to kick me out of the house. This whole situation goes to show that you shouldn't force people with autism outside of their comfort zone.

What do you plan to do after the eventual passing of your parents?
What will you do next?

 

[Thundercrack85]

Oh but to answer the original question. Yes. Do it, man.

Who doesn't want a 26 year old-man child crashing on their couch?

 

[CardinalRed]

Your friend needs the kind of help that you are not trained or authorized to give him. If you really care about him, you should encourage him to go to a mental health facility. Anything else is enabling.

Not gonna happen. I haven't even been able to contact him, since he cant Skype on his phone. I wished who would've taken the whole MrEnter suspension in stride and done something more productive like I did with my own YouTube video.

 

[The Question]

What are your plans for the eventual passing of your parents?
What will you do next?

Let's not turn this into the "concern troll questioning the life plans of a young man who says he's autistic" thread. That's not a good direction to take things in.

 

[chamber-music]

Nothing is truly certain, and it is always possible (if of course HIGHLY unlikely) that Mr. Kelvin is in reality being stalked by some kind of supernatural floating green lights as part of an evil scheme by a female-supremacist cult to get certain you tubers accounts suspended, but it is more likely that these would be the result of some kind of delusion or hallucinatory medical condition, and likelier still that this whole thing is some kind of half-assed attempt at a prank, because the notion that Mr. Cardinal Red would entertain even the possibility of such a paranormal feminist conspiracy is dubious at best.

I don't know what a female-supremacist cult is but I would be interested in seeing one

 

[chamber-music]

You might want to delete the youtube vid before the mods see it and infract you for the swearing.

 

[The Question]

Okay. So, if you can't get in contact with him, there's really not much you can do. And even if you could, I'm not sure getting him to fly across the country to crash on your couch would be in his or your best interests. The two most likely explanations for this are either that he suffers from mental illness much more severe than you were initially led to believe, or he's messing with you. Feminist supremacy cults with floating green lights working with Viacom to get youtube channels shut down are not a thing that exists in the world. This may be out of your hands.

Like I said, I'm not giving any credence towards this theory...there is a member on Comicvine named Coral Wyvern who has been talking to Kelvin (according to him) during these events. Coral was banned from Comicvine years ago, but she is still able to access the forums.

Yeah, that's about the best thing that can be said on the matter. Be there for him if he needs someone to talk to but leave it at that, inviting him into your life further might be harmful for you both.

You can't help him. In no way are you qualified to. His family needs to get him the help he requires.

 

[CardinalRed]

1. His parents have basically disowned him.
2. His uncle is threatening to make him get a job.
3. His grandparents at best, tolerate him.

Not your problem. The only thing you can do is try to convince him to seek mental health therapy.

Also, requiring someone to get a job, especially at 26 years old, is not cruel.

Sorry, but I intend to make it my problem.

It is when said person has autism or Asperger's.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Oh autistic people can't get job's right?

1. His parents have basically disowned him.
2. His uncle is threatening to make him get a job.

My cousin is autistic and he's had a job since he was 15 and he's 21 now. Autistic don't mean you can't have a normal life.

 

[CardinalRed]

My parents have already said they would provide him with room and bored, provided as he doesn't cost them any expenses, of course I can make no promises concerning the second stipulation.

 

[The Question]

Well, to be fair, autism is a spectrum. It can range from a noteworthy but entirely manageable deficiency in processing social dynamics and sensory input to being completely unable to function without some measure of constant assistance.

 

[Snow Queen]

I'm genuinely unsure if you're trolling or have serious psychological issues.

 

[Feenix]

Sorry, but I intend to make it my problem.

If I had autism, I would hate that someone like you thinks they can speak for autistic people.

I worked for an autistic lawyer. He was one of the best.

Shame on you for using autism as an excuse to be unemployed.


Troll.

 

[CardinalRed]

I haven't talked to Kelvin since, oh I'd say...yesterday afternoon, probably around 2PM. He was at his grandparents but they told him he's leave by tomorrow.

Troll.

He's asking a question. Shame on you for twisting it into some political conversation. It's a simple yes or no question.

I agree.

I don't know how bad it is now but when my cousin was younger it was severe and with time and a lot of help I image its' got better.I was just giving a personal example here as he said his friend's uncle is making him get a job.

This CardinalRed and Kelvin are on a windup.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Let me ask a couple question I think no one here has asked.

Have you met him? Have you talked to him via the phone? Do you know his real name? Do you know what he looks like in real life?

I get you wanna help him. Nothing wrong with that. Helping people is good but this sounds like someone who've known only online. If this was a real life friend I would say maybe but no. Don't ask him to live with you.

 

[Feenix]

That is true, but someone who can speak and write and have their own YouTube channel does not sound like someone who is on the severely disabled end of the autism spectrum.

My friend's son has autism and he doesn't speak. Ever. He hums and laughs and says "mum" every now and then, but he is not able to post on forums or create videos to upload to YouTube. He will require constant care from his parents.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Have fun with that, "white knight." Don't come to us in six months when Kelvin has completely destroyed your life.
