I am a retiree, just retired after having worked for the United Nations in New York for almost 30 years.
We have a 32-year-old son and since his childhood we noticed he behaved a little differently from other kids of his age. He had difficulties both in middle school and in college. But anyway, he managed to have graduated from Boston University.
After graduation, he refused to find a job and did daily-trading at home for about two years (the profit rate was OK).
Then he tried this and that, but always in vain. He also wanted to go back to school, at first to take MBA courses and then wanted to be a lawyer (his verbal delivery is obviously above average and we thought to be a lawyer could make full use of his potential in this aspect), but on the day when he was going to take the entry exam, he did not have the courage to enter the exam room.
After that, he went to China, where he was born, for about 3 years, working there and also set up a VR company with my friend. He told us that he had got his self-confidence back and could find a job easily in US.
About 6 months ago, he went to San Francisco to find a job in a VR company. Obviously, he had very bad experience there.
He came back in June and told us that he wanted to have a plastic surgery, because some job interviewers said behind his back that his face was too wide, ugly (to be fair, we think he looks pretty normal).
Now he is obsessed with this idea.
And we did some research and found that he might be an aspergie.
Could anyone recommend what we should do?
Many thanks!
