my brother is a great kid. a senoir in hs, good looking, funny. but, he was born with aspergers. hes been known in my family to be impulsive and very opinionated. he really likes guns and wants to own a couple one day. he is really compassionate, he wants to be a zoologist and loves animals. hes very emotional, but doesn’t show it much because of his aspergers. he used to get bullied, but now that other kids have grown up he doesnt anymore. he used to have no friends, but now has a tight group of them. i believe he hasn’t found his niche yet and will have a ball in college and adult life. he can be intense and has said some things that make me a little paranoid, but i know he isn’t suicidal or homicidal because he doesn’t like crime and thinks justice is a great thing. should i be worried about his future?
No I don’t think you need to worry about him.
Sounds like he is doing alright, I wouldn’t be too worried about him. The guns I might be worried about, but I wouldn’t worry about that until he acts on it.
believe me, you dont have to worry. i have aspergers, and its really hard at first, but now that he has friends, i think hell be fine. people with aspergers arent disabled, theyre just different. basically, instead of “street smarts”, they have “booksmarts”. hes definitely gonna grow up to be successful, because as i have aspergers, i have the ability to dedicate all of my time to whatever it is im interested in (my guitar), and since he loves animals so much, theres no doubt about it hell be an amazing zoologist. i think its very sweet that you care about your brother this much
I have aspergers and here’s what I think
If he’s not homicidal because he doesn’t like crime – and wants to be a zoologist and loves animals – why does he really like guns and wants to own a couple one day – he’s a walking time bomb – classic autistic psychopathy – put him in a straight jacket, lock him in padded cell, and throw away the keys – otherwise stay a million miles away from him – of course you need to be worried
