My best friend is crying because her parents sent her to live in a group home?

So her cousin she was staying with kicked her out two weeks ago and she begged her parents to let her move back in. According to what she told me is that a group home that will teach her independent living and social skills for her to need to live on her own. She is still adjusting to it but she wants to go home but her parents said that is her home now and she will have to learn how to adjust to it and she has out enough stress on them as it is. Her dad almost had a heart attack because of her stress. Not saying it’s her fault. She’s autistic like I am but we’re both high functioning. She has been begging me for two weeks to live with us but i told her sorry but there no room and she shouldn’t have to learn to adjust. She demanded her parents to let her move on back home but they kept hanging up on her and she is telling me I’m a bad friend for not letting her stay. She’s the one that’s been mooching off her parents and refuses to get a job. I’m always there for her, but I encourage her to get a job and she just won’t. She’s 31. Please help.

It kinda sounds like her parents want to help her but have run out of other ideas. Who knows, it might work

I work in assisted living with both kids and adults (mostly kids) its really not that bad .. she will have her own room but probably will have roommates with similar conditions.. she will be living with rules and expectations though ..

@DeluxedEdition group home .. when parents find out their kids have autism or a developmental disabilities and give them up .. the state takes over and they get put in homes like the ones I work in ..they get their own homes too . But they need round the clock staff coverage .. every shift is responsible for making sure they cook and clean for themselves..
