I'm a gamer, myself. Not to the point of obsession, as I work three jobs and don't have as much time to game as I'd like, but when I was in school I spent a lot more time on the controller :) It sounds to me like he's found a healthy outlet! Many gamers use it as an escape from the harshness of reality. Some people turn to drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication, but escaping the world in a good game is a healthy way to get away from it all. As long as he is still in tune with reality, I'd say that you have nothing to be concerned about :) Hope this helps!

Yeah there needs to definitely be a balance. No matter what the interest is.

I even saw a news segment where a wife complained how her hubby would be up till all hours gaming…and IT’S the cause of much marital strife for couples in their 20s & 30s

Thank you and you’re right it’s very much a sign of the times.

Yes…my 29 year old son, Dennis, is very much into gaming, too. Ive been concerned, but have come to learn that MANY neurotypical males, of ALL ages are, too. That helped me relax a bit…guess its just a sign of the times 👍🏽
