Im worried about my cousin...?!
Question: Ok, first of all my cousin has a language disorder which means he has trouble making friends etc. He can talk fine its just he CANNOT start a conversation with someone unless really forced. But if they start a conversation with him they say the first word hes fine, thats his language disorder.
Anyway, he doesnt have many friends, i think he has one friend at school two at most. I feel sorry for him because he's 16 now and hes missed out on so much because he cant communicate well, he'd rather be alone like in his room, he says hes ok when i ask him, but i KNOW he gets depressed and stressed out.
His mom and dad are not very good parents, well they are, his dad was a severe alcoholic and his mom is now quite ill.
I know im going on but he literally has NOTHING all hes been doing for the past 4 years is waking up, going to school coming home and sleeping, all over again for 4 years. I live far away from him so i cant help.
if this person was you, what would you do? seriously

I can relate to your cousin, I have aspergers syndrome and I can hardly communicate with others on a socially accpetable level. You can't really do anything, the problem is really society when you think about it, not your cousins language disorder, people should be considerate and humble enough to be able to deal with people like this, unfortunately that just isnt the case. I may not have many friends, but I keep myself busy by learning new things that I can benefit from. I know it sucks, but some people just live lonely lives and all they really have is what they can offer themselves, he needs a hobby, but even then i'm not saying he can ever be "normal". Maybe help him find a gf or something, thats the best advice and companionship somebody like him could benefit from. Im 23, and have been living somewhat like your cousin pretty much all my life, I got used to it, but it does suck, sorry I cant help more.
damn, that sucks. i kinda feel bad for him. But in this case i would probably try to get him to go to maybe one of your guidance counselors at school and talk to them, or maybe help him get some friends.
EDIT: my bad, if i was him i would probably do the same thing because i have a disorder that changes the way i communicate.
There is not a whole lot you can do. I would be his freind and email him as much as possible. Engage him on the puter to play games with you. Call him and talk to him. Just be available and include him in your life. He is a lucky cousin to have someone in his family that cares about him I think you are going to do just fine.
IT COULD BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS YOUR COUSIN IS SHY. YET THAT CAN BE A BIG PROBLEM. A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THAT "PROBLEM" HAS LOW OR NO SELF ESTEEM. WHAT YOU MIGHT DO IS ENCOURAGE YOUR COUSIN TO GET OUT MORE, MAYBE START BY HAVING HIM TAG ALONG WITH YOU FOR A WHILE UNTIL HE STARTS MEETING PEOPLE THAT HE MIGHT SEE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, SEEING THEM OVER AND OVER FOR A WHILE UNTIL HE CAN FIND SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH THEM OR GET TO KNOW THEM SO HE HAS SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.
you be his friend, call him, make him feel like someone out ther cares, .that isolation will drive you f**king nuts. which im sure he is experiencing.
just find out wat he like d mst like games ,sports,music.....
