It's silly, naive and potentially harmful to believe that you can cure extreme isolation and social anxiety by living in a house FULL of complete strangers for five weeks cold turkey. At his age these decisions are highly questionable.

You have made some good points there. I don't get the 'living on his own for many years' thing as an explanation though. Plenty of people do, but over the years they still have family, friends, girlfriends or boyfriends, work, etc. It's not as if he was in an isolation cell or something. Very odd.
