Re: how to help a young kid
[ QUOTE ]
Get him into online gaming, he'll probably stop focusing on school but if he becomes good he'll be insanely popular online. Nerdy kids don't need a life when they have e-friends.

Haha I know this is a joke, but this is terrible advice.

Take him hiking or rock climbing, connect it to his interests in the outdoors. Hopefully it will help him be more active and he'll get all diesel and bang mad bitches with his smoov tree-hugger sensitive guy angle.

This is really good advice.
Your brother will likely excel in all the geek / Innanet-related spheres. Getting him involved early in his life in physical activities that won't demoralize him (you mentinoed he's uncoordinated = bad at competitve sports = demoralizing) is a great way to round out his interests. Also, as NT mentioned, will help him extend his social circle outside of just hanging with nerdy dudes.
