He already has autism, what makes you think he'll be better off doing... well... what do you suggest he do instead?



Depending on the severity of the autism symptoms, he could try to get a more normal life. And no, I don't agree with the term normal since what is normal these days? Shooting people during a drive-by? Eating hamburgers all day? Using drugs and do everything possible to sustain that way of life? No. To me, that is not normal, but it is average in our society. He's not average, but he's using his capability to feed his interests. So let him.
