Has some level of Autism. He can understand things but he doesn't talk much. He usually smiles a lot and hums as if he's about to laugh. Sometimes he's upset and you can never figure out why even if you ask him. When we were younger I used to have to defend him a lot because kids picked on him. He says random things like " Make a sign", " piece of bubble gum", "bird house", "Ninnnneeteeeeen!" " eggs and sausage haha" etc. out of the blue. Kids used to always pick on him for it. I worry about him sometimes and if he's going to do alright in society.

No. It's autism. He has speech problems and little things tend to bother him. At the same time he seems to have no fear when it comes to extreme roller coasters.

Whatta asshole @ Downward Spiral. Anywho I'm sure he'll be fine. It's not like these are times where information isn't available about these conditions. People are more informed than ever. If anything he'll fit better into society than a person with an assumed normal personality/ mental capacity b/c he'l get special treatment and he might not know when others are making fun of him, or care as much as you do.

He may have some form of Autisum so he will need help to have a good life.

i kno what u mean my sister has aspergers and she blurts out random thngs like that as well, its just whatever she's thinkin about at that precise moment and somehow she expects people to understand what she is goin on about.

Both my sis and dad (also aspergers) are managin well in society. you bro might be more severely autistic than them tho, but i think he'll be ok.
