We hung a No Drama sign up in the house, along with the No Whining.

I feel for you, coming from a house full of women here (poor Pat never knows who the drama is coming from on a given day).

She's an adult, treat her like one, and expect the same in return. Take no crap or foul language. She's not your child anymore, she's an adult living with you. Treat her like a roommate. That means everyone is responsible for themselves. Except for minors.

Also, she may need to be reevaluated for a side dish of something else in addition to her Aspergers. I'm finding that there are multi-layers in all these ADD/ADHD/Aspergers, and seem to come with more than one diagnosis. Fun times!
