US EditionAsking Eric: Father Wants to Play Surprise Matchmaker for Son on the ...
A father aims to help his socially isolated son on the autism spectrum by arranging a surprise matchmaking, despite concerns about its potential impact on his son's comfort and autonomy.
- A husband asked a woman to visit their son's house for three days to help assemble IKEA furniture and meet their son.
- The father initiated this plan without discussing it with the mother, aiming to address their son's social isolation.
- The son holds a full-time job while completing his master's thesis, lives alone in a remote location in another state, has no social connections, and might not be receptive to a visit.
- Concerns include the financial burden, potential risks of injury or property damage, and that safer service options like vetted laborers exist for furniture assembly.
- The situation suggests the need to respect the son's support preferences and consider alternative safe social options while avoiding imposing unwanted interactions.
