Do I need an adult autistic tenant to sign lease?

Hello, 

I have a prospective tenant who will be renting the property with their adult autistic son/daughter. Do I need to put the adult autistic tenant on the lease and require him/her to sign the lease? 

Thank you!

@Brady Boyer I asked the parent to have everyone over 18, including the adult autistic child, to sign the lease. They were okay with it. No push back.  For the past two years, I've had no problems. I think the key is communication and understanding. I think the best approach is to have a conversation with the parents to get a better understanding of each other just like any other circumstances.
