Hello, I am new here and joined hoping get some guidance and am wondering the best way to proceed. I have a 25 year old son that won't talk to me other than yeah, no, maybe, and I don't know. He does speak to his mother a little but only when he has to. He is living at home and doesn't have a job, no actual friends (I have no idea what he does or who he communicates with online), he is in his room and up all night and sleeps until late morning, won't ask questions or ask for help with anything. He does help out with chores when asked and graduated from college 2 years ago with a business/accounting degree but says he isn't interested in it. I only found out about Asperger 5 years ago and in the past I thought he was just shy and defiant because that is what his high school teachers would say. I would discipline him and try to teach him the best way I knew how and it only seemed to push us farther apart. When I found out about the Spectrum I tried to find help but didn't have any luck. So I found this site online and am hoping it will make a difference in my approach.
