| Sounds like depression. Sleeping is an escape. Video games are an escape. Sleeping is again an escape. Dreams are better than real life for someone who is depressed. Does he live in the same house as you? If so, he may be staying up late in order to have free time when you are sleep. This doesn't m... |

Thanks again everyone. You've been very helpful and given me some ideas I hadn't thought of.  |

| Perhaps if you let your son read that wiki article, he will see it in himself. A diagnosis may even be a relief for him since it means he is not a lazy person or slacker, but that it is a medical condition that is not his fault. And maybe they can manage it with melatonin or something else. These s... |

| Try and find out his limits and limitations without trying to probe to much. Just my farther accepting me, and talking to me logically and calmly in a friendly way was enough to make me listen. As soon as he started yelling or blaming me I didn't take it the right way. And then all the self blame s... |

| Hmmm I do see your predicament, well I've got to admit online and ps4 is probably a good way of escaping, but for how long......maybe part if his frustration is not knowing what to do. also being expected to leave home and find a job just used to add to my anxiety. I'm sure he is a good kid, I have... |

| If he feels like he is failing that could add to his problems, the fact that people are trying to be positively constructive but he might be taking that negatively, could be adding to his problems. Perhaps consider another course. But try and finish this course if he can An I.T course enabled me to... |

| Thanks all for your replies. A timetable sounds good and has been one of my ideas too, so I will try that. I believe he probably is 'wired' like many in my family to be nocturnal. I have asked before for melatonin to help but couldn't get a prescription. The gym is something he wants to do to be fit... |

| Hi and thanks for the reply. You are absolutely correct. I did respond out of annoyance. That annoyance doesn't simply come from the sleeping all day. It was said after he refused to get up and go to college again. I have had all those conversations with him about what he needs to do and told him he... |

| I have a son who is nearly 20 who has AS. He is nocturnal. Registered in college but barely goes because of his sleep habits and was kicked off one course, because although he was doing the work, he thought he could just go when he wanted and it didn't matter if he didn't always attend or was late f... |

Also I would say that the USA makes a lot of enemies invading and bombing countries under the guise of trying to help them. This I believe... |

Learning how to solve maths problems melts my brain. Honestly, all the info just gets scrambled together and I just can't do it.
Supposedly maths are supposed to be logical, but I just can't make sense of them. 35 years old and I still can't recite all my times tables. |

I can remember the birth dates of people I haven't seen for years. I can also remember phone numbers and bank/credit card details.
I have a diagnosis of ADHD and have some AS traits. |

Love it love it love it!! ! My 16 year old son could do with some Aspergian pride, but I can't even mention the word Aspergers without him getting annoyed with me.
Hope he comes around soon. |

| I'm curious too, as I have a 16 year old son who seems averse to touch. More so as he has become older, than when he was younger. As an NT who has ADHD with some aspie traits, it can be quite frustrating not knowing whether to try and hug him or not. I never know what reaction he will give. |
