It can be in a shady area, and an hour away because it doesn't sound like he goes out often. Your parents need to set rules and get rid of the cats(or not allow them down there. Get them a mini fridge. He needs professional support to grow out of the teenage years. Clean his living area and treat him like he's five. Who has to clean his room weekly.

Thank you very much for you response! I was worried I wasn't going to get any responses. So it's very much appreciated. I've already forwarded some of your ideas to my mom.
He does not get SSI. He applied and was turned down. My mom was told (by someone, I don't know who) that he needs to appeal it. But he won't do it because he told my mom that "he can work" (which makes no sense since his rant on facebook included multiple reasons why he didn't think that he
could work.)
He is getting meds from the psyche center that he was admitted to. He's been off and on all kinds of meds through the years. But he either doesn't like the side effects, claims the meds don't work, or claims that he's been "healed" and is better. I'm not sure if he sees a therapist.
