How can I become a responsible adult in fortnight?
You can’t.My question to ask you would be, if you want to become a responsible adult in a fortnight.. do you also wish to stay an adult for a fortnight?Because that is what is going to happen.Adulthood does not have a timeline.You don’t become responsible in a day or in a month, or fifteen days for that matter.You become responsible by working on yourself consistently.Even after you try and fail.Even after everyone says what a child you are.Even when no one is helping you.You decide and do the work.Financial, emotional and physical independence.These don’t come in fifteen days.
Should an adult child be responsible for helping assist their parent to see a psychiatrist if they suspect their parent has a mental disorder? Or is it not their responsibility?
This can be tricky, what I suggest is for the adult child to make a double appointment with the parents GP and while the GP cannot discuss the parent, to the adult child, they can listen. Make out a list of what situations you are concerned about that you feel the GP is not aware of in regard to how the parent is behaving. You can request the GP call parent in for a check up and an assessment.this is the time when you need to have parent to ensure they have an Advanced Health Care Directive and Enduring Power of Attorney ( every adult needs to have these) . Ask your parent to give permission to health professionals to share information with you.
Do kids need chores to help them become responsible adults? What chores are best?
I was a medical aspirant. Prepared 2 years for NEET.Children do need chores to be responsible in future. To be more serious for things and to haldle tgem with ease. Let me introduce you with some medical facts. It will help you to understand it better.Whenever any human being indulge in any activity/chore, brain sends impulse through neurons to the body parts participating in the activity which behave as messenger and alarm system during whole activity.Now two possibilities are possible:-a) Whether the person will succeed or do the deed perfectly then the brain will save the body movements and position during the activity to perform the same next timeb) Or the person will fail or do it disastrous. In that case brain will also save the body movements and positions during the activity but this time not to do those mistakes again. To avoid those movements and mistake next time.You must have seen around, sometimes children makes the same mistake again and again. This is the case of loose neurones or neurones are not working properly.So, if we keep giving children some activities which are easy to do but carry a lot of knowledge, a lot of skill to learn.Thanking you.
What does being responsible teach you?
Being responsible means having control over something or some person. It also means acting on something and have the ability to accept both the blame or the credit for the action taken. It also means being trustworthy. If one learns what being responsible means than one learns how to be a mother, father, sister or brother. It means that you have been taught to kind, generous, loving. You will be a good student, a good teacher, a good boy friend or girl friend, a good mother, a good father, a good worker, a good teacher, a good manager manager, a good all around person. If you fail at something, you will try again.If you succeed at that same thing you will not boast about it or belittle others who have not done as well. Generally, you will find that being responsible is important to every school, every family, every religion and every nation on the earth. That is why it is so important.
What are important things everyone should do as responsible adults?
By the numbers: Figure out how to save money every pay check. Stay out of deep Credit Card and Loan Debt. Both of these require you understand specifically the meaning of two words, WANT and NEED.We all want things, often things we cannot readily afford so we get them on credit. What you want are things that may make you happy, until you see you couldn’t afford them. Learn to do without WANT until you can pay with cash (this means it’s OK to use Credit Cards but pay them off every month. Credit Interest can make you poor quickly.Get what you need and that may mean a good car, but a good used car or a very cheap new car. Remember there is insurance, upkeep and gas. Clothes, not the most expensive, you don’t need $80, 90, 120 dollar Sport or Dress shoes when you can’t pay cash for them. Holidays, go local, don’t go at all, save that money.It’s all about taking care of business. We live in a financial world and you can live high on credit, medium on a lot of not buying wants or poor deep in debt.This does not mean be negative and do nothing, have nothing, it means think cheaper, a lot less than maybe your best friend, but you will live with less stress generally as wellNow here’s more responsibility: Stay healthy. Go to a Doctor and get yearly checkups, twice after about 35, then eventually 3, 4 or more times a year. This means good medical insurance, another NEED cost. I had Cancer and beat it at 70 because I kept getting checks and it was detected in time. At that age I was in good basic health, but there it was. No regular checks and you die. You see people in their 30s and 40s dying all of a sudden, looked healthy. Never had regular check ups. Same goes for Dental.Once you are settled into a good working life and accumulate more assets, Get a good Will to cover your assets you never know when something drastic gets you.Family: Cover them well too. Set up some kind of savings for kids education.There are many other areas to cover but this gives you an idea of what is important.Note: There are many people who will say “Live now, enjoy your life, it’s all to short, etc.” OK, that works for some and many of them then grow older and don’t live a very happy older life either.Lot of good info on line about how to live a good life.
What does it feel being an adult?
It's WAY better than being a kid or a teenager. You can make your own life decisions, do what you want when you want, and owe nothing to anybody except for yourself. It is, plainly put, freedom. However, it's freedom that comes with the great price of significant responsibility. When you're an adult, you have to support yourself financially, take care of business (having somewhere to live, pay bills, go to work, etc), and when you have a family, you have to realize that they come first. Getting married and having kids are adult choices that come with significant responsibility... but when you're an adult and you're ready for these things, they will bring such happiness to your life that you won't mind how they limit your freedom, finances, flexibility, etc. They will fill your life with so much meaning you won't be able to imagine your life being any other way. Personally, I wouldn't be a kid or a teenager again for anything. Those years sucked. I'd rather have the heavy responsibilities of adulthood but know that *I* made these choices over having to live by someone else's rules or opinions about what is "best" for me. No one knows what is best for me better than I do.
Can people with Asperger’s become independent responsible adults?
Many can be independent, responsible adults. Some cannot.Today, the Aspergers diagnosis has been dropped in the US. It was originally intended for people with a mild form of autism, which is to say, they have fewer troubles with one of the THREE parts of autism - language.What I have seen though, with both Autism and many other conditions, is - a lot of denial and mythology. Both can make it very difficult for even a very mildly affected person to live independently and responsibly.Lots of myths. All people with Autism are geniuses, all are going to be brilliant scientists or mathematicians. Autism is a new advanced stage of human evolution.A person just greeted me with HORROR when I described the brain abnormality of a friend with very severe autism. How DARE I ‘include him with autistic people.’ How INSULTING. When someone says THAT, I know we are in BIG trouble with how we view autism. And how we view it makes a difference. We teach autistic people these myths and that makes it much harder for the autistic person to live his life.Obviously there are many negative myths too. People with autism can’t feel empathy, become criminals and sociopaths, they’re bad people, blah blah blah. Those obviously are dangerous myths.But even ‘cheerful’ myths harm people. Things that are fundamentally untrue always create trouble - all that has to happen is for people to believe them.The fact is that autism is not a new phase of evolution, and it’s not true that all are savants or geniuses.People with mild autism - what we called Aspergers, can, in fact, have very serious problems still, with the other 2 parts of autism - social rules and repetitive behavior/dealing with change.There are a good many people with mild autism, many of whom have never been diagnosed by an expert and have only very faint traits of autism, who are so angry, so arrogant, so rude, so selfish, and so unwilling to follow social rules, that I seriously doubt they will be able to continue to work at a job or support themselves.
