I have a 25 year old stepson with autism who lives with us. We sleep with the master bed door locked and I keep a pair of handcuffs in the drawer next to the bed.
He has had several violent meltdowns over the years and can be quite dangerous when highly agitated. Thankfully it only happens maybe once a year and we have learned how to spot when a meltdown is coming on and how to medicate him in advance.
There are a lot of people here that just can’t understand what living with someone who has mental issues means.
I see so many people swearing to me that a paranoid schizophrenic should be allowed all the guns he wants and no one should be afraid they are going to get killed in the middle of the night during a paranoid delusion.
