So we live in a complex of townhouses with a park in the back. Across from us lives a family with 3 children. Next to them lives a 30 something year old male, his girlfriend and 3 dogs. I will refer to this male as SWM.
So basically, whenever anyone who lives on either side of him comes out on their porch or to use their yard, SWM immediately rushes outside to talk to them. Whenever their children are outside, SWM rushes out to play with them, talk to them, etc... I don't think this guy has a job because he is always home. It's like he waits by his window all day for someone to come out.
We've lived here for a while and our back yard faces theirs so we've been able to watch SWM somewhat. His behaviour is strange. Very childlike in the sense that he's attention seeking. He set off a big firework show in the back last month and was talking about how loved he felt because of how much attention he had. He also likes to loudly brag about how much money he has.
So anyway, we can't decide if SWM is just one of those almost too nice sort of people or if there's something wrong there.. He seems wayyy too interested in his neighbour's lives and their children. He almost acts like a Dad to them..

What do you think?
I think he is not the only one ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that falls within the
description of the blue words.
Is there a possibility that he isn't neuro-typical?
That's my thought. Then again, the OP is only giving us a curated description of what is going on. This reminds of the movie Summer of Sam, where the white male character was accused of the murders and harassed by the community simply because he was into punk rock and did things a little differently.
I find it more disturbing that some have already labeled this guy as specious based solely on what the OP wrote, which as far as we know may be a contrived story.
Anyways, what do the other neighbors think of him? His girlfriend? Have you actually talked to him or to his GF?
