My brother is so weird, but not in an Aspie way, in fact I think he's too weird to be Aspie! He's not clever in anything, he's emotionally immature, he doesn't have much of a tone of voice, you can't have a proper conversation with him, and he's not hyperactive at all but he has this strange annoying way about him. He also SEVERELY lacks empathy and sympathy and I wonder how people can possibly want to even be with him. He also overeats, smokes way too much, lacks self-esteem even more than me, and doesn't even try to do anything with his life, just lives on anti-depressants and although he works full time he is not interested in cars or learning to drive and he can't get a girlfriend. He is 27. I think he has some sort of a personality disorder.
I dunno, he sounds aspie to me. I don't know what you mean by saying he's weird but not in an aspie way. We're not all super intellectual genius geeks who are computer experts etc, if that's what you mean. I have really bad learning disabilities. I scored borderline ret*d in some areas as a kid. Most would probably say I don't do anything with my life. Really, I just don't do anything with it from their perspective. It took me a really long time to finally learn to drive. I didn't have a car until I was about 27. Couldn't come close to getting a girlfriend, was "obnoxious" in many ways, hard to get along with. All the stuff you're describing.
