My DS is 25,on the spectrum, lives with DH and I in a self contained part of our house. He has one good friend, but who lives abroad, a GF in the states who keeps saying she's coming to the UK, but I have had my doubts for the last 2 years.
My problem is this. My DS is lonely, has no work colleagues to talk to, spends this whole life online talking to GF, mainly. Has anxiety (like me) is frustrated that the relationship with his GF is going nowhere despite his efforts and is now on anti depressants. His life is boring, empty and lonely. I have suggested meetup groups, friendship sites, which worked for me! Courses and barwork (which he loved, during uni). We will help or support him with anything he wants to do, but he won't do it!! I'm so frustrated! Some days he is crying and having a meltdown because he is so unhappy. I am heartbroken, but then when I suggest things to improve his situation, I'm nagging! Do I just let him be and watch him potentially slide into depression? Dh says I can't force him and to let it go. Advice please!
