Managing a house move for an adult with Aspergers

NAS79527

I need help please, my 27 year old son has Aspergers and can't come to terms with me moving house.  He sees it as me selling his bedroom and I don't know how to make it easier for him.  My husband and I have lived in this house for 28 years and had 3 sons, the middle one is 27 and moved out 2 years ago but still sees his bedroom here as his.

I am at a loss as to how to help him come to terms with the fact that we are moving, we need to move to release money so that we can retire, he will have a bedroom in our new

home.  He is just so very upset about it and this is upsetting my husband and I too.  

Any hints, tips or resources are much appreciated...

Thanks

  • Also something you have to consider you said he moved out but does he live alone? You know the difference between a house and a home? It’s the memory’s of time spent with other people there. If his house is empty of other people, if he doesn’t have family, friends or lovers visiting him there, then it’s not really a home for him, just a house. He won’t have a home because there won’t be a place full of memories to come home to.
