He asked if I was annoyed at him this morning and I said no, explained it was an external situation that was annoying me. He repeated the questioning so many times to the point I asked him frustratedly to trust that I was telling him the truth. He said he should just go kill himself and slammed a door. When told this wasn’t okay he brought it back to autism.
The other day I went out with my friends for Halloween to a club event. I told him before that I didn’t really want to go and would probably be back early. I understand I was at fault because he took this literally. He blew up my phone on every social media asking why I wasn’t replying and he accused me of not being where I said I was. When I proved I was he said he never said it. He’s often saying he never said things that he did.
We all went home after that. When I got home he said that I was a hypocrite because I kicked him out when he went out with his friends and came back late - which is a lie. He said he was leaving at like 3am because he “refused to be spoken to like that” - when I was just disputing outright lies. I offered him the sofa multiple times and he refused, before eventually coming to my front door and shouting for hours. He says this was an autistic freak out, and that he never made stuff up but that it was due to his autism. I’m so tired of everything being to do with his autism. I feel like I’m a constant carer for his emotional well-being.
He also doesn’t work due to stress related seizures, spends all of his money on weed to reduce the seizures (he’s had one in 3 months b it that could be because he smokes an ounce in a few days), and I’m now supporting us. He’s moved in with me and doesn’t contribute, I mean he’ll pay for the odd thing but then I end up having to buy his weed because he doesn’t have enough. He would end up homeless if anything were to go wrong here. I don’t know what to do. Please help.
I just remembered, there's someone I know who has seizures as well, and he has a seizure dog, and these dogs are trained to bark to alert others of someone having a seizure, protect the person from moving by lying down next to them, and they could be trained to set off an alarm. Even if the seizures are rare, it's important to have someone alerted to know that it's happening, to prevent injury and keep the person safe.
Also I think that he should look into what kind of financial assistance he can claim for his disability, and not just depend on you to provide everything for him (house, money, etc.), while he's being aggressive towards you. I mean, like he said, you two are grown adults, so he needs to get his medical stuff in order, and not make that your responsibility, I mean you dish out money to pay for his weed and everything else, while he's treating you like crap, as if you're not doing enough for him, but he's not doing anything for you. If you're grown adults, then he can take care of his own problems without dragging you into it, forcing you to handle all his problems for him, because that's not fair for you.
