My brother has no friends at all!! What should i do??

Question

My brother has a learning disability (though not severe) he left school at an early age and since then hasn't hung around with anyone, he expects me to hang around with him all the time, but i'm older now and have my own life to lead and i'm planning on moving away soon. i've introduced him to a number of my friends but he just doesn't click with them at all, my sister thinks i'm over-exaggerating but i'm not and he wouldn't even visit her all that often unless i suggested it. we have suggested every social activity but he always goes for the hard-to-reach options. i'm upset because i really don't want to leave my brother in the dust when i go off travelling to other places for who knows what amount of time. he is also incapable of running his own home which means he will have to live-in with someone (it'll end up being me) when we are much older because i can't leave him behind forever either.

can anyone give me good advice on how to make my brothers life a little bit better??

Answer 1

You say his learning disability is not severe, yet you say he cannot run his own home. This sounds like a significant disability.
It sounds as if he needs some instruction in how to socialize and how to how to live independently. It may best if he gets this from somebody outside the family, since he seems not to take this seriously from you.
Even if he truly cannot live totally independently, he could presumably do pretty well with minimal supervision.

Answer 2
