Learning Disability

My son was diagnosed of learning disability in 1998 in the middle school. Since then he was a special student till he graduated from High School in 2003. Since then he is going to different colleges but with zero GPA. I do not know whether he attends the college or not ? But I am sure he never takes final exam. He does not tell me any thing. He is
playing computer games since childhood. Now he plays computer games the whole day and night. He has couple of friends who also joins him in computer games. Now he does not want to study or want to go to any college. I am worried what will happen to him in future. He is 23 old. Please help me what should I do? I have been to Psychologist two times with him. He says he does not want to go further. If I ask him he says he is a useless and become self guilty, Or sometimes, he thinks money is useless thing. So far computer games are concerned, he is smart. He knows lot about the computer. Please help.

Perhaps he should be referred to a training center for people with disabilities such as VESID (in New York State) where they could work with him to find a job within his capacities. Computer knowledge is important. Its a work transferable skill. And there are independent living centers (that work with people with all disabilities but for anyone reading this do not oppose mental health treatment but if someone needs benefits or housing will work with psychiatrists) in every country in every state. I would reccomend looking up your local ilc.
