Hi Easeful, welcome to SR ...

The only thing that comes to mind is - be careful of being dragged into the 'good cop - bad cop' scenario in differening with what your husband has chosen to provide your son.

Video games can be useful in focusing a mind that cannot focus on its own ... something about the visual stimulus ... I oughta know - I'm an artist - not everyone is, however. Video games give that same .. I dunno ... 'push' that we don't seem to have naturally chemically ....

on the OTHER hand - video games are also yet another means of evasion. Of dodging the reality of day to day living that we run from so quickly. Or get overwhelmed by so often.

It's not for me to know ... it's your living room.

JMO about the 'good cop bad cop' thing, though.

Maybe speak with your husband, then the doc - and work together to present a united front for your son's support?
