VP, I come to you for advice because let's face it at least a good deal of you have or are spergs.

My younger brother is severely autistic and pokemon is one of the few things that makes him happy. But lately for this game I've seen him breaking down into tears and crying because he's been losing online. I've watched him play and it seems to be mainly due to bad luck, like he fucked a black cat on a pile of broken mirrors under a ladder while knocking salt shakers all over. Problem is I'm not a psychologist and I don't really know how to tell him to cope, so I'm trying to do the next best thing and get him to drop it entirely. Clearly it's making him miserable even though he says he's having fun, and I want to help him feel better about himself and move on. Maybe he can come back to it when he's in a better state of mind, but for right now I think he needs a break.

What's the best way to convince a sperg to do this? For reference, he's just underneath the zone of what used to be referred to as Asperger's Syndrome, and he's in high school (so he's not an adult, but he's not a child either). I expect some bait and troll replies going by this place's reputation but I know vp has some good people and I thank you all for helping me.
