My son is 22, has a form of autism and is an addict. It goes way back starting with hash and processing to cocaine and other things, I’ve heard ketamine mentioned on the grapevine too. I don’t know what to do. Although we talk we have limited communication as all he does is lie. Every day he’s making up stories as to why he has no money and will we give him money for food etc although I have proof almost all his money is going on drugs. His dad and i are divorced but his dad keep lending him money. I understand as he pulls out the poor me card every time and it’s heart breaking to think of your child being this way but I have literally no where to turn because he’s an adult he’s able to make his choices but surely as he has autism and learning difficulties there must be some help. He refuses to go to any help I arrange for him even the dentist or doctor. I cant sit by and watch him slowly but surely killing himself and wasting away. He’s only small and his frame is skeletal. I’m do afraid for him.
