My brother has a minor learning disability. 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 may not be capable 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??

Hey at least you care about your brother I am glad to hear that.
You can never make someone do something however getting him out and trying things will lead to him finding something he likes to do. Keep trying social things and see what eventually clicks.
You're doing a good thing here do give up on him.

u're brother is so lucky to have a sism how love him and care about him.
but everyone should begin finding his life so why don't u let him cat on the internet and find a job cause he can not be unuseful all his life.
trust in god and eveything will be great.

Watch the movie "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." You may notice some similarities to your circumstanes (and learn something too.)

of course it's better to consult a sophisticated specialist...a psychologist..
the possible way to help him - to find the sphere of activity which let him feel as equals with the others (some kind of sports, arts, music, poetry, computer,... etc)..
