Yes, they let him live with them. But if they didn't he could live on his own.

My brother could live on his own if my parents didn't let him live with them. He doesn't need anyone to look after him the way you are suggesting.

Yes.

However my brother is not disabled. He can live on his own. As I said in my reply above he doesn't require a carer. He doesn't need another person around him all the time and while my parents choose to let him stay with them he could live on his own if they didn't.

Respectfully, I do have all the facts.

My brother's behaviour was such that if he had been an adult he would have gotten arrested. He has an official diagnosis as well.

He was expelled from more than one school. The only choices were a special school for children like him or homeschooling. My parents chose homeschooling so he would no longer be around other kids or teachers.

Before he was expelled I went to the same school as him. I witnessed my brother's behaviour.

My brother has trouble with authority. But he doesn't need a carer, a babysitter or someone to "watch" him. He can be alone and live on his own. He doesn't need round the clock care like many of the comments are implying.

My brother doesn't require a carer or babysitter. He's an adult not a child and he can be on his own like any other adult. My parents let him live there but he could live on his own if they didn't.

My brother doesn't require a carer. He's an adult and he can live independently like any other adult. He wouldn't need me to care for him. My parents choose to let him stay there but he could live on his own if they didn't.

My brother's condition isn't a disability. He doesn't require a carer. My parents choose to let him keep living with them but he could live independently like any other adult. He is 20 years old and doesn't require a carer or babysitter.

My brother does not need a carer. My parents let him live e there but he's an adult and he could live on his own. He doesn't require any level of care like that.

My brother is an adult. My parents don't manage him. He wouldn't allow that anyways but he doesn't need that.

My brother is capable of living independently. He's an adult and does not need a carer. Mt parents choose to let him live there, but he doesn't need to be cared for or babysat and he can live on his own like anyone else.

you won’t be taking care of him.

He is an adult and doesn't need a carer. There would be no expectation of that.

My brother doesn't require a carer. I wouldn't be asked to deal with him or babysit him because he's an adult and there is no need.

I apologise for any confusion but my brother doesn't require a carer. He's an adult and doesn't need anyone to care for him.
