True... but maybe he should just play it less, that would make it easier.

mediocrity or consumed by passion. Pick your poison.
with any luck, you also have talent, and can focus your pseudo-autism in the right direction and achieve greatness. If you are as obsessed as you seem to be, you may be one of the heavy hitters in your local scholastic scene, and make some grand memories and earn people's respect. Who knows, maybe you can reach further...
dont listen to optimissed though, he wants you to become a fit tax paying accountant. Boomers be boomering.

Llama47's suggestion makes some sense but who in their right mind would give up drinking and chasing women to play chess again ?! These are the main reason that youngsters stop playing.
in what country? all the talented youngsters i know that stopped playing did so because 1. fancy pants school they got accepted to, absorbed the rest of their time and their illustrious careers began or 1. they found out the hard way, the road to IM/GM is arduous and something else like poker is better.

Take up drinking and smoking and chasing women.
When you quit those and start playing chess they'll be thrilled!
There's a bit of a flaw in this idea. You're assuming the OP will be able to quit drinking and smoking and chasing women....... He may not. He may end up like Tal, doing all of them at the same time.
Tal was a Doctor too !
