Also, that detail about sitting on their bed most nights, just emoting. Do you remember that, Jordan? Yeah, yeah. That struck most people as problematic, too. Very problematic. In fact, I thought it was interesting. A couple people pitched the same idea, which was to just shift the location of those conversations from the parents' bedroom...

to her bedroom or to a neutral space like the living room or the kitchen. I thought that was kind of a clever idea. It doesn't solve the deeper problem, which is that she's just unloading on her parents for apparently hours like a child at her age. It might take out the childlike, childish aspect of talking in her parents' bedroom every night at 27 years old. So that was clever.

But then another listener touched on something that we didn't consider, which was, is it possible that their daughter is neurodivergent in some way, possibly on the autism spectrum? And would that account for a lot of her challenges, a lot of her behavior? This listener pointed out that people with ASD sometimes have trouble making friends. They have much higher rates of anxiety disorders.

They also have a very hard time with change, as we all know, which was a huge theme in the letter. And if this daughter is on the autism spectrum, this listener felt that the parents need to approach the situation very differently. For example, giving her a timeline of six months to move out might not be realistic for her.

It might really do a number on somebody who struggles with change and might not have the resources yet to really make it on her own.

Yeah, it is very confusing and it's hard to know the right way to parent. Do you have to respond to the unique needs of each individual child? These are all good questions, but I thought this was a good point. Also, the original listener pointed out something else we might have missed, which is that cultural values can play a big role in situations like this. So as this person put it,

I understand that she is an adult and the social expectation in the U.S. is that adults should live on their own, but in many cultures, like in Italy, it is common for adult children to live at home in their 30s for economic and personal reasons. This is not necessarily a bad thing unless she's making the living situation difficult for them.
