aaronhernandez, I mean this in a good way, are you talking about your “brother” or yourself? There are more than a few parents or family members of spectrum folks on these boards, and we’d be happy to share some advice. If you need feedback on what is “socially acceptable”, this isn’t a bad place to get it.
