Most people instinctively think everyone is like them. Most people never have to try to step outside this and understand. Someone with Asperger's basically have to work hard to understand others. So those who have an aspie near you, please try to also work on your understanding.

I'm one of those "mild" cases. Still I differ a lot from most people. I would happily indulge in video games if it wasn't for the cost and that most games these days are pretty crappy anyway. An audience would freak me out...

If he can find work that suits him, that would be good yea, but what he does the rest of the time is his own choice. As said above if depression is involved it gets more complicated. I have a disability income because I have both Asperger's and other things. Still you can't see on me that I'm "disabled".
