    I think one of the key issues here is the balance between control and persuasion. You can't control him the same as when he was a child but you can still talk to him, more as an adult, and try to let him discover what the right answer is. His ASD is part of this as we are often resistant to being told what to do. We are, however, susceptible to logic and this may be an approach that you need to emphasise now that he is changing from a child to an adult.
