This is a tad old now but a good philly.com piece on adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities. (full disclosure, my brother is included in Part 3).

Worst roommate ever

Story about a guy from Philly who went to law school, didn’t pass the bar and then basically lived through his 30s and 40s answering ads looking for roommates and then making the primary roommate evict him after by antagonizing then and not paying. It’s a real roller coaster ride and worth reading til the end.
