Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts about what (if anything) we should do.
My brother is 20 and has aspergers. Recently he has been "caught" on a few occasions searching the internet for gay sex and other closely related stuff. My mum has gone down the route of just giving him a general rollocking about using the computer "inappropriately" however I am not sure that this is the right road to go down.
I am not sure whether he is just generally interested or has specific questions that he would like answering. There are things about the way he has acted previously that make me wonder about his sexuality but as he is so emotionally immature I don't whether this is just a natural stage? My mum feels quite strongly that she can't discuss this with him however I am torn between ignoring it or having a chat with him about his feelings but I am a bit wary of confusing him or even opening a big can of worms.
Don't suppose anyone has ever been in a similar situation or could offer some advice? I think I would like to give him the chance to talk about it but am not really sure what to say.
