Setting the scene -
> Brother is 31
> Severe Aspergers, functionally autistic
> Can't hold down a job to save his life more than a few months before he quits or gets fired for being an asshole
> recently he moved to Colorado with two of his friends who take total advantage of him
> move was totally based off of "weed lmao"
But, surprisingly he held down a job at a call center for a few months,
>today he calls in a total panic
>roommates are kicking him out because he was fired from his job
>he can't take any responsibility for being fired,
> is now begging to come home
> my dad, his step-father, is the only one who will say no, my mom is too scared to tell him no
She's so depressed that I'm honestly scared she will have a mental break, our sister isn't any help because she's dealing with her toddler
Does anyone have any idea of what I could tell my brother to do? We're desperate for any ideas for a job he can hold down or something he can do with his life.
He refuses the idea of the military, won't go with the peace corps...
I'm so desperate that I'm asking y'all for help /adv/, please give me something to save my parents from this shit while I'm away at university.
Nothing?

Yup
You all most tell him to fuck off, and go to the military. It's the only way he will stop being a beta cuck and a self centered cunt.
Im sorry you have to go through this.
give him some money, tell him to find some chinese shops that sell wholesale electronics or whatever cheap shit there is, and to resell it for 2x on ebay, facebook, craigslists and whatever website there is.
I'm not joking, btw
that way, you'll help him make him responsible for himself, he'll learn a few things about himself and the world.
ask >>>/biz/ for advice on what to sell, although, desu, I think they suck, so if you can find a better place where to ask (reddit, prolly... there are lots of job/startup/whatever bullshit there is related to making money), even better

Only problem is that he isn't the memey form of aspie, he was the total hide under his desk banging his head on the floor as a kid/teenager. He grew out of it a lot as an adult, but there's no way he could handle boot camp.
>>17893117
I appreciate the idea, but we all know that isn't how he could pay for rent or food.
>>17893061
He is a man child. There is no excuse for Aspbergers here, this is a crutch that he uses to enable his dickish childish behaviour.
You and your mom NEED to understand, he needs to be totally on his own and suffer, survive without help or crutches for him to grow out of this.
It will either kill him or make him stronger, and he needs to be stronger. He is in his 30s now. She can't keep being his mommy forever.

It isn't like she babies him, they kicked him out of the house when I was a kid (when he was 18) because he treated my dad like shit.
If we don't find a way to help him, he's going to be homeless and die, and we can't do that to our family.
>>17893129
the idea is to force him to do it. otherwise, he'll keep being a baby.
and you aren't doing him any favors by letting him be the way he is: >>17893136
also, does he not have hobbies? does he know how to do something useful? hell, can he sell random japanese shit, gaymes or whatever bullshit retarded kids buy these days?
>>17893160
He's basically an actually autistic version of a NEET. He doesn't play video games, but he does religiously subscribe to conspiracy theories/ists like Alex Jones-esque types.
So useful hobbies? None.
If his Aspergers is as severe as you say, he can apply for disability.

he sounds like someone who has some kind of mental retardation, desu
