Adult son with Aspergers gambling

Mum71

My 24 year old son has Aspergers, although not diagnosed as there is no funding in Ayrshire for adults to be diagnosed, we have done all the online tests and he scores high on them all. 

We have now found out he has a gambling addiction and is thousands of pounds in debt.  I am worried sick and don't know how to deal with it. We have made him go to gamblers annonymous and also took bSneezing faceank cards off him, informed gambling sites/payday loans of his addiction.  What else can we do? Sneezing face

  • Oh my God. How is he doing? Did you help him with his debts and his addiction? My dad also used to be addicted to gambling. However, his habit wasn't that bad. He never had any debts. He would always win and gain more money than he would make during the entire year as a fireman. Now, he is retired. But, he is still addicted to gambling. Even when he cannot get to a real casino, he plays on websites like [removed by mod]. Sure thing he prefers classic casinos, but this is one of the best alternatives from his point of view. He used to play on that platform even when he was at work!
