little brother has problems
he's 17 and im pretty sure on the spectrum just for reference
>never had a lot of friends growing up from what i remember seeing
>for summer reading he had to pick out a book for english class, the only requirement being that it was at grade level in terms of difficulty
>picked a book called "Das Boot" because he had a passing interest in ww2 stuff until this point
>almost immediately becomes infatuated with it, finished the book in 3 days i think
>literally will not shut the fuck up it, constantly talks about blowing up ships and "starving britain of resources"
>parents got a call from his school a few weeks later because his presentation about it had swastikas plastered all over, they didnt think anything of it other than that though
>fast forward to a few days ago
>he slipped up and left his pc open
>my father walks in and apparently discovers that he's in a bunch of nazi discord servers, also just to put the cherry on top of the shit sundae he's gay and partakes in a twink faggot server
>as you would expect a shouting match erupts, he admits he's a faggot and it all goes from anger to crying pretty quick (both of our parents are conservatives)
>gets all his stuff taken away except an old pc which they don't know about, and im too scared to mention to them
>for the past 48 hours he's just been playing some nazi submarine game and watching the movie version of that book over and over, except to eat/piss/sleep
>dad is pissed again tonight since he wants to change his future college major from compsci to becoming a diesel mechanic apparently
>might actually end up sending him to a "halfway house"
>personally i wouldnt mind if he left but i think he deserves a final chance, i just feel bad
what can i do to help him? he's actually doing pretty well in school despite all of this tbf but im obviously pretty concerned
