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?
Hi, I'm 51yr old with undiagnosed ASD (assessment in 2 weeks time). I have had behavioural addiction and think you are doing the right thing getting him involved in a Steps program which AA will help with. Can you not use the NHS right to choose system in Scotland? That's what I'm going through. I think the understanding about the reason our brain makes us feel the way we do is crucial also. Would be good to push for a diagnosis IMO
Good luck to you all
