Sorry for the delayed response ...looks like he is having intellectual disability. He needs detailed evaluation. He can also be trained in special schools for daily activities and life skills.there are benefits given by the government for their welfare so can also apply for them.He can be sent to vocational training if possible looking at what he can do.
Next Steps
He needs to be taught like a small child breaking the complex tasks to simple tasks.
