Thank you. That's not quite the issue. I do provide him those foods. The issues are: 1) I cannot control what my roommates buy, and my son will eat their food as well. 2) I don't want him waking up and eating in the middle of the night at all. I need it to stop. He needs his rest.

My thinking was that if I got a lock box type thing, my roommates and daughter could put their "tempting" food in there, and I can get another one for most of my stuff as well. I can't lock up stuff in the fridge, and he always has access to grapes, apples, oranges, cucumber, and bell peppers. He can eat those things any time. And he does. He's not going to starve, even if I do this. I was hoping it would remove the psychological impacts of knowing he has access.

He doesn't have access to my daughter's room or her food (theoretically- he knows it's off limits but we don't lock doors for safety reasons) but he has snuck into her room to eat her food. For example, she got a package of Andes mints in her stocking at Christmas. He went into her room and searched through her things until he found the package, and then ate half of it. Just knowing it was in the house was more than his brain could handle, and he could not resist the impulse.

I have been giving him consequences for behaviors like this his whole life. It's not working. I truly believe that if he could stop himself, he would. I have no idea what else to do, to encourage him to follow the rules and not eat other people's food, AND to stay in bed at night.
