That said it is a common misconception that people with Asperger's like to be isolated from people, but this doesn't mean that they can still feel lonely.
So I can understand yours Brother's anxiety. As others have suggested there is FaceTime or Skype to keep in touch and many Messenger apps.
Does your brother have some I interests or hobbies? We "Aspies" have interests and hobbies that can easily become obsessions. Are there plenty of things to keep him amused. Luckily Amazon and Postal deliveries are running almost normally if you need to get books, hobby items etc.
Medication.Has your brother contacted his GP (you can still do this online with an E consultation. I have a repeat prescription for Citalopram, that I can take if my Anxiety starts to peak. It really helps!!
Finally, I am a member of the National Autistic Society Community forum, which might help?
Anyway, best of luck to you and your brother
