Any parent of young adult with Asperger Syndrome faced the same problem as me? My son is obessed w online game?

I need help for this.Any parent of young adult with Asperger Syndrome faced the same problem as me? My son is obessed w online game?
it is not Obsession it is called special interest. he peruses advanced knowledge in one area (for him, computer games). It is a main part of aspergers. It is normal. don't push him away from it or take it away from him because that is what he does to feel normal. It should change in about 2 years to something else unexpectedly. Like one day he'll wake up and he'll have this sudden interest change. As part of his aspergers he is going to want to own everything in his interest so be lucky that most computer games online are free. Usually he will only have one interest because of the advanced effort he puts into learning and ingaging in it. That is also normal for aspergers.





If it is a social based game where he interacts with other people that is the only way he will make social contact because it is his interest so he will have something in common with other gamers.Any parent of young adult with Asperger Syndrome faced the same problem as me?

i am not a parent of someone with asperger, but i have a good friend who has it (he is 19), and he too is very obsessed with video games.





it has actually made him a very rich source of knowledge for those who know him, because he has played soooooo many video games having to do with historical wars and international relations, the guy is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to history.





so my other friends and i actually really respect him for the knowledge he has gained.





i dont know if this really helps you, but i guess it gives you some relief that some good could come out of it.
