'Reality is unrealistic'.

The standards for what sounds plausible are relaxed in some ways when it comes to fictional works, but a good deal tighter in others. (And I've found that this is often doubly so when it comes to disability. I'm somewhat like your brother in that mine hasn't really had much of an effect on my academics up until the last year or so of grad school- I feel the impacts more in other arenas. But if someone tried to write me as a book character, they'd probably get chewed out for 'not doing their research' since I don't look like a stereotype or have literally every single possible symptom. Bleh.)

Additionally, Sue/Stu tests are often a more than a bit skewed towards the bland and unspectacular- perfect when you're trying to write a background character or someone to interact with the canon characters without overshadowing them, but somewhat so for RP characters or for the protagonists of an original piece. They're not an appropriate metric to apply to either canon characters (many, if not most, protags will fail) or to real people.
