This is in reference to my girlfriend's younger brother who has mild form of Aspergers.I known my girlfriend for 3 years and her brother for 3 as well. I am going to keep this short since I can write a novel about this. My girlfriend's father owns a chinese restaurant and works there 364 days/yr so they have no time to "help" their younger son with his mental issue
Her brother has problems with social communication. He will start off saying a sentence but then drops off in the middle. To make it worse he can only speak English and his parents can barely understand since they speak a second language mainly He has NEVER been outside besides school (Like malls, restaurants, etc.) and only stays inside playing shooting games all day. He has no friends, and when he tries to make friends other kids deter those away from him.
He eats microwaveable food in the refrigerator and doesn't know how to cook any other food. The eats only junk food for the most part besides dinner
He doesn't study, but he's not that dumb either. He's been place in those special classes and aces them however he's "different" so he cannot be placed in regular classes. He doesn't like making friends with the "special" kids
He doesn't have any sort of social respect for other people (Yelling at 2 AM in the morning when people are sleeping), He has no common courtesy (Doesn't know how to say Thank you) and asks sensitive questions (Why are you fat?, What's that acne on your face?etc.) He can't even help out at the restaurant because he gets too frustrated (You have to be fast at take outs)
So is it too late to correct this behavior? I'm not sure if it's even the Asperger that's making him this way.He has a really bad and stubborn attitude. He thinks he's entitled and if he doesn't get his way he'll start yelling and screaming
tldr; autistic family member needs help
