to ask how I can help

[shareacokewithnoone]

My brother is very lonely.

I so feel for him but he has Aspergers and few friends and I can't see him ever being in a relationship really.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

How old is he?

35

Hang out with him? Text him?

Invite him around for dinner once a week and have him do the same?

How do you know he's lonely? Is it because he's alone, or has he mentioned this?

What are his interested. Local colleges do some amazing courses. Go to library and look up clubs, groups etc. can he sing, act,

What are his hobbies/interests. Dh and Ds1 have Aspergers.

My cousin has aspergers and loves cosplay, anime etc and has really come out of her shell being part of a group. She now has a partner who loves the same and although she is quite obsessed with her hobby, it gives her a life

Yeah he mentions it a LOT.

He does go out with us on occasion but they tend to be very 'girly' type gatherings, and he does stand out.

He enjoys karate/martial arts, going to the gym and swimming. He likes music.

Don't take this as offensive but...

Rent a Friend

I've heard good things about it, and if he has trouble making friends they might be able to be a good wing man and help him get out of his shell.

Also...

Meet Up

Is a website for people with similar interests to meet up, but sometimes these tend to be awkward where everyone stands around pretending to care about small talk. It's best to find one with an activity in mind instead of an interest to talk about.

Why don't you plan stuff that isn't girly?

Because no one would want to do it :)

But surely if it's a group, you'd take turns doing stuff that other people like wouldn't you?

Why not go to a rock concert just you and him one night?

I think phoning / emailing / texting regularly will help. You may do this already, but otherwise it will make him feel included in your life and you in his.
