Good evening. I am new to this site, and my question is how we deal our grandson 25 who has Asperger Syndrome and has an addiction to scratch cards and internet gambling sites. Apparently no amount of talking to him makes any differnce. His mum thinks she has sorted it out for him and just continues. His mum is at the end of her tether, as she struggles to make ends meet. He realises that he mustn't do this, but obviously its an addiction, and I do realize that he is not going to be able to do this just like that. His mother has never had any help (to my knowledge) or advise or any support of anykind in regard to Autsim. (Until he was 20 years old,) when he used to get very distressed around people and would shout to people in the street if they were looking at him. (That is only one example. BUT at the moment the overriding problem at the moment is the gambling. Sorry I am rambling.
