Two perspectives

[(Anonymous)]

1) He might be autistic, or have Asperger's. I know, armchair Asperger's diagnosis is the fail, but I have a friend with a diagnosed case and a lot of what you're taking about was him. I met him when he was in his mid teens and he was prone to random outbursts of yelling and violence (he threw his bestest friend into a wall in high school and actually dented it, but thankfully, his friend understood his condition and didn't hold it against him). He gets incredibly obsessed over the things he likes (something he's told me before is very common with people that have his condition) and will yammer on forEVER about them. He was prone to irrational emotional outbursts and taking things way way WAY out of context. However, he is now in his mid-twenties, and while he's had some trouble holding down a job and isn't sure if he'd be able to handle college, he's very happy, has a long-term girlfriend, and has taken amazing leaps in learning social cues and how to act and react properly. I'm very proud of him, he's come a long, long way. :)

2) However, he might not have anything "wrong" with him at all. My husband was prone to violent outbursts and temper tantrums when he was younger. His parents took him to counselors and therapists and all of them told his eight year old self that he'd grow up to be a serial killer and locked behind bars forever. THAT fucked him up more than anything, and I've suggested on more than one occasion that he look up those assholes and send them our wedding photo with the caption "No thanks to you!"

As he grew older, he still had the impulses, but he's learned to recognize when he's going too far or taking things way out of line. Even in the short time we've been married (a few years), he's grown amazingly. I think part of it was because his parents just sort of left him to his devices once he became a teenager (he was sorta home-schooled, in the sense that he did schoolwork when he felt like it). Even so, he was left alone and he still became a very good person. He has a strict sense of right and wrong and values honesty over all.

What reminds me of him, though, is that your brother fixates on things he likes, and my husband does the same thing, though not nearly to the same degree as my friend. If he gets a game he's wanted to play, he will stay up all night long and into the morning and into the afternoon and keep playing. He mostly only does that with video games (which are his passion) but he'll also do that with Netflix if he finds a show he likes.


tl;dr: Go to college. Call often. Watch your brother and see if he will grow out of this. If it doesn't look like he's getting better as time goes on, then try and talk to your parents about what you're seeing and let them decide. And I don't think you'll get anywhere asking your brother what he wants NOW, no twelve year old knows what they want with their life outside of Lucky Charms and Pokemon.
