But he never reacted so agressively angry to striking out with women before. My Mom says the same thing, that it's him and not the medication, but started a few weeks after he started taking the medication. So I find peculiar how no one seems to be seeing the "coincidental timing".
Nobody wants to admit that modern psychiatric meds aren't anywhere near the wonder drugs they are made out to be, and that we understand far, far less about the brain than is made out.
I have no expertise with autism, but I know there are a lot of people without autism who are "treated as inferior by others, may not ever have a woman in their life, or the kinds of friends that other people do." He needs to know that, and I would think for someone without autism support groups or group therapy might be useful. Knowing other people who have similar problems can be reassuring. But I have no idea if that's an appropriate treatment for someone with autism.
I agree it sounds like a bad and possibly dangerous situation.
Okay thanks. I'm not sure if reassurance would help him cause we have tried to reassure him and I think he just actually wants the problem to be solved, rather than be okay with having the problem. But maybe it will help...
No I am talking about my brother. Why would I be talking about myself? I mentioned before on here, how I have a gf, unlike my brother, and that hasn't changed.

Its one thing to be reassured and another thing to reassure yourself by being exposed to people with similar problems. But again I have no idea what someone with autism would respond. But as an extension of that thought, maybe there are support groups for people with autism?
I often wonder if the OP is actually talking about himself when he mentions his brother.

It's not uncommon for someone with an embarrassing problem to ask questions and say it's their "friend" who has the problem.

Why? The OP seemed ok with it....and it's cleared up now.
Well I wanted to move out before, but may have some money problems coming up that I talked about before in a previous thread. But my brother lives at home still cause it's hard for him to support himself with his condition.
