  That kind of gives me some hope, honestly. He's sorta adept at using computers; he can navigate the web fairly easily, though reading is a bit of trouble for him(it takes him 5x as long as a normal person), he's been doing fairly well with online typing tutor sites as well as basic math courses in Khan Academy. I'll have to look around and see what I can find.

    I have worked with someone employed through a similar program during an internship at SAP.[1] Maybe there are opportunities available for your brother. [1]http://ca.specialisterne.com/about-specialisterne/sap-partnership/ http://ca.specialisterne.com/about-specialisterne/sap-partne...

  I've read similar stories, and if I remember it was often QA. Those with autism may be more likely to prefer repetitive tasks, and will have a high attention to detail that might be useful in QA work.
