[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, he sounds like a nice person who is on the spectrum. My young adult son with ADHD and autism communicates in the same way. If you want to be friends (or more), please expect to do all the social heavy lifting.

He told me he has ADHD and anxiety. What would be the best way to communicate with him in order not to overwhelm him and keep it enjoyable for myself too? [/quote]

I think he likes you well enough to overcome his inattention, social anxiety and perfectionism by crafting thoughtful replies and keeping the relationship alive. But I'm not sure he has more to give, although it's a good sign that he's upfront about his quirks and has a basic amount of self-awareness. You can maybe ask directly if he would prefer another mode of communication, and maybe a schedule. Like a Sunday morning Facetime every week. Can he do that? It might lessen his anxiety, because he would know when to expect a social interaction, and seeing your face might spark a little more interest on his part.[/quote]
