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 bank cards off him, informed gambling sites/payday loans of his addiction. What else can we do?
I'm sorry to hear about your son's struggles with gambling addiction. It's great that you have taken the steps to help him by encouraging him to attend Gamblers Anonymous and taking away his bank cards. It's important to continue to provide support and encourage him to seek professional help as well. There are many resources available, such as therapy and counseling, that can help individuals with gambling addiction. It's also important to have open and honest conversations with your son about his addiction and to offer non-judgmental support. Remember, recovery is a journey, and it's important to stay patient and positive throughout the process.
