Mom trying to help my son see his gifts

Dear Dr. Rob,
I have just stumbled upon your web site just in a time when I needed too. I have been having an awakening this year, and have been working on living my life in truth and love, practicing your teachings every day. I am new, but see things that I have never seen before. But I am writing to you because of my son. I am a widow of 8 years now, raising my wonderful, loving, gifted son who has Aspergers, and has been told is Indiego, on my own, and I am so proud to say he graduated with high honors and will be going to ESF this fall to study his environment this fall! Throughout his life Joe has lived the life we are trying to live, with pure heart, truth and love. He has always had a passion for his world and making a difference, until of lately and I am concerned.

Although his school mates were good to him, he really only has about 2 very good friends, and now that summer is here, he finds himself without them, has become depressed, and has gotten obsessed with people in the chat rooms. I do monitor who he is talking with, he is on it all day and night. He has lost that “gleam” in his eye, and his passion for what I belive is his calling. We had a long emotional talk last night, and he admits he does not like who he is becoming. I feel somewhat responsible because I had to take on a new job last year, and I am working 50 hrs a week instead of 30. It makes a difference to not be around him, but I have no choice right now. I pray and meditate everyday, and try to remain positive, and know that I am where I am for now.

I guess what I am asking is if you can suggest any clubs or organizations that my son can get involved with to get him back to the truth. He loves people, children, elderly, all walks, he loves to talk politics and environment, history and his faith. We both have helped at the Samaritan Center, and he was great at that. There are no summer jobs for him, but I want him to go where his mind, body and soul can be expanded. He is such a sweet and loving soul, he has taught me so much, and has sent me on my path, I need him to get back to his.

I don’t know if you can help us, but I do enjoy your page and will put you in my daily life. I hope we can meet you someday. Thanks for reading my story.
Have a great weekend!
