He had problems dealing with it when he was diagnosed at age 15 but then got on track and become ok again he got very down about it. He will always have that tendancy to slip back into the depression stage of it where he doesn't see why he should go out anywhere, or why he should make an effort with people who don't bother making an effort with him. To this extent i do understand what he means i often get like that with people... Why am i nice to them when they don't treat me the same type thing. Well he's slipped back into the depression stage and it's upsetting me as i wish i could help him more but i can't. He said he'll go to the doctors and see if they can help but he doesn't want to go alone luckily i work in a pharmacy which is connected to his doctors so i said i could go as i'm sure in work they wouldn't mind. I just feel so helpless i wondered if anyone out there knows of anything i can perhaps do?I really would appreciate some advice. I do have friends but it is difficult for me to try and explain to them exactly what's going on.Thanks if you can help Reply to this Question

 I can't relate to having Asperger's syndrome- but I can relate to having my many moments of depression. All you can do is continue to be there for him.
Try to be a positive figure/influence in his life, and he will love and appreciate you so much more because of it.
I wish you two the very best.
