Try to broaden your spectrum here. Coding is one of the last things that's going to be a sure fire fit for anyone. Show him about computer science in general.

Try to broaden your spectrum here. Coding is one of the last things that's going to be a sure fire fit for anyone. Show him about computer science in general. Coding, networking, graphic arts, communication. Find things that a kid his age would like and show him people doing it.
If he likes art, go grab someone who can use 3DSMax (I heard that iamdave guy is good with it nudge nudge wink wink) and let them show him how to make a bouncing ball animation.
- dmnd 18y agoI'll do some thinking about who I know that can show him things in various other fields.
- nostrademons 18y agoCheck out local business owners too - many of them love to mentor local kids, and several came from situations like your brother's. Sometimes you can arrange an apprenticeship-like situation, where your brother volunteers his help in their business. One of my high-school classmates had an awesome internship with a guy who made Japanese woodworking tools.
