You don't have the social skills to get or keep a white collar job.

Sploo, I also have (severe) OCD behavior that gets triggered by cleaning. It can take me multiple times the normal amount to finish cleaning things like my body, the floor and furniture, or dishes. It used to be far more severe as a late teenager, I could spend as much as 2 hours scrubbing myself with scouring pads you use for dishes and dish soap, making sure every centimeter of my body was perfectly clean. It was an obsessive compulsion, to not stop because it felt wrong to do so before it was perfectly clean.
Definitely autism related in my case, OCD is a pretty common part of Asperger's.
Now I've managed to get it under control. I can still take too long due to perfectionism and because I really like hot showers, they're one of the few things that relax me, and you've likely read about basis for the shower thought phenomenon, which causes me to continually space out and lose track of time.
Casper, your godson sounds like a lost cause. Why do you even spend time with him? The reason he may have turned out autistic could be assortativity. People with higher than average autistic traits tend to be drawn to similar people, people in general are drawn to those like themselves. So your friend could have mated with someone who was also higher than average on autistic traits, producing someone with full blown 'tism.
