Very interesting to read people's responses. I'll give yuo the answer in about 3 weeks, but in the mean time, I've added a pole to this question. So you can now also give your answer on the pole.

That's the first thing I noticed when I opened the picture. I'm going to guess that this is actually some kind of trick question, but I said the one on the right. Not really sure why, just something about him.

Since asking people to choose one makes everyone look for one to chose, - I choose "none of them".

@Codyrules37
If it is then when I comment on it, it'll have moved to page 1 again.

yeah, I guess you are right. It's his website.
But actually that's cheating.

@nuttyengineer
I agree that the picture behind is irritating.

I think that they both are on the autistic spectrum but at different degrees.

We, the people on the Autistic Spectrum have a choice.
We can either try to "fit in" with the rest of society, or we can be so egocentric that we can't be bothered.
I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

I chose the one on the right.
Maybe because of the way he dresses, to be honest - the lizard on the shirt is beautiful and faszinating, and I often find myself wearing things that look beautiful on their own, if not on me.

Then there's his facial expression; both brothers have a sort of worried, empathetic look in their eyes, but the one on right seems to be posing more 'normal', seems to care more about coming across as normal than the other one, who looks a bit more relaxed, his mouth opened slightly, no 'photo-face'.

And the way they stand; despite the brother on the right looking older, the one the left comes across as somehow...protective.
It seems logical that the brother who is not autistic would worry about his brother, and would want to protect and understand him.

However it's very, very hard to say...I find myself doubting my thoughts as soon as I write them down, hm.
An interesting thing you started here; it's a bit like holding a mirror to all our faces, help us understand how others might judge us and why.

The one on the left looks a lot like a guy I knew from high school.

Left. He sort of looks like me. Uneven posture, and that look..
I wear a mixture of "mainstream" and plain ol t-shirts myself. Just the same ones, over and over again..

Also his head is a little bit forward and unconnected from the rest of his body.

I agree, the one on the right's eyes are more vacant, like he's off thinking about something else. It reminds me a little of the "aspie stare" where we can look totally empty and unaware because we're busy thinking about more important things.

I think the right... There's something about the face under the beard, his posture and his eyes...
