I'm on the spectrum and had a lot of trouble in school and in social situations. During a sensitive time I found myself in a chaotic environment which contributed to a more radical mindset. I sought out others of similar mind and soon enough called myself a nationalist and "ethnopluralist" (so not red-pill as such - that's not much of a thing where I live). I was of course the hero of my own story just as everyone else is the hero of their own.
Eventually my thinking shifted as I grew more fascinated by science and gradually my obsession for ethnic and cultural preservation dissipated, and along with it my paranoia and conspiratorial ideas.
My journey through every part of the political spectrum has, I like to think, left me more humble in my understanding of people and society (not to mention the universe itself).
It's not impossible that the guy you met will eventually make the same journey and where he ends up depends in no small part on how other people treat him along the way.

You can use hardware which only can feasibly support limited functionality. No graphics hardware, just a text-based interface. If it's a code editor or administration terminal it could have a powerful multi-core CPU for compilation and running. If it's an electronic typewriter it could come with very limited processing capacity and storage, with more focus on storage redundancy/backups.
