Hi, I am a single Mum to a 23 year old Aspie guy. He has no life, no friends and is severley depressed and I am at a loss as to what to do to help him. We both need help and aren't getting any and so I've joined here in the hope that some of you could help with advice etc.
Might be useful to expand a bit to clarify the information you are seeking.
At 23 has he been to or completed university? Has he got a degree then not been able to get a job? Has he not been able to hold down a job since leaving school? Or what do you think contributes to his depression?
No life and no friends might not be his perspective He might not see the point of leading a non-autistic lifestyle or having friends.
Feel free to ask more specifically - then there are likely to be both parents or young people on the spectrum who can chip in.
