My girlfriend brother is Asperger too: Bad grades, excellent knowledges about grammar and strange words, obsessed with League of Legends (a videogame), reading and sometimes astrology.

I am sorry, watson, because I have no magic pills.

I understand your worry in making him able to live without depending on someone else resources. We are too trying to achieve the same that you, but we are doing it slowly because we are sure that if he knows what we are planning he will never perceive it as interesting.

At the moment, we have been able to make him somewhat interested about the technical part of computers doing him a demo of "security pentesting": We (I, with him at my side making jokes and enjoing the process and asking) did some arp and dns spoofing, also played with sslstrip and he loved to know about the mechanics.

Advancing from there it's not being easy. Web development seems a good path for us too because you can easily see the results. The problem is making him interested enough to do it by himself.

I'm adding this thread to bookmarks. Please, tell about any progress that you did and ask if you think that there is something we can share with you.
