Hey LYN..

I'm asking on behalf of my brother, who has just finished his SPM last year. He is an autistic children (Asperger syndrome) which means he has difficulties in social interaction and getting along with people. He hardly has any friends because of his hot-tempered behavior

The problem now is he has failed his BM test, and most of the university/ college in Malaysia require at least Credit to enroll.
He likes drawing and he draw very well, but the problems is he has difficulty in studying theory like LAN subjects, doing assignment and socialize with coursemate.

So, is there any college/university/training center that does not have any LAN subjects, no theory subject and mostly is practical based?
Skill-based courses are welcomed as well.
Preferably small group of person in study as he does not likes crowded environment.
Preferably local because my parent can't afford to send him oversea, but you can suggest as well and see how it works.

He's currently staying at home doing nothing and this worries me and my parents. I do hope that he can learns something and be able to support himself in future.

FYI, famous persons like Albert Einstein, Bill Gates and Isaac Newton are diagnosed as autistic.

I hope forumer or parents with autistic children can share their experience and knowledge.

Thanks

My parent already brought him to consult a psychiatry, the expert has diagnosed him as Asperger children.

During his secondary school, he get bullied all the time. I think that is how he started to develop his hot temper behavior. Whenever someone tease him or disturb him, he went outrage and damaged a lot of school properties.

Therefore, my parents stop sending him to school for several months, but the school allow him to take SPM. That's how he can manage to finish his SPM. It's a tough route for him =(

After SPM, my parent thinking of sending him to the one academy or saito college for drawing. But looking at the course structure, it involves lots of assignment and few theories-based subject that might not be suitable of him.

Should he further his study? Or let him stay at home doing nothing?

1) I don't think he is good at any of SPM subject. He passed his Mathematics, Science and English, failed his BM and Account. He is absent for Sejarah, Econ and Moral Paper, because my parents know he will fail these subjects. He is good at drawing, with pencil, no colouring, but not really as good as those comic artist

2) He is right handed. Any difference with left handed?

3) My family has already accepted the fact that he will not further his study after secondary, but they hope that he can at least learn some skill work, so he'll be able to support his life in future. However, by judging his behavior, I don't think he is suitable at working environment which has a lot of stress and pressure. I'm afraid that he might not be able to take it, and will get angry. Any suggestion of what can he do in future?
