For whatever reason, my right ankle is weaker than my left one, I've never actually sprained it either, it's just like that. When I'm walking on anything other than flat ground, my right ankle tends to roll over. What kinds of exercises could I try to fix this? Should I get an ankle brace perhaps? I'm getting tired of tripping over my own feet all the time.
 
I don't think that's something that would be solved with exercise, you're probably walking retarded and landing weird with one of your feet for whatever reason, which is actually not that hard a habit to develop. You could have flat feet or be wearing the wrong shoes too, which could exacerbate the retarded walking issue.

Think: There are loads of people out there who are flabby and aren't constantly twisting their ankle. If not having muscular enough legs caused you to roll your ankles, leg/ankle sprains would be the #1 cause of injury in the western world considering how fucking fat everyone is (although fatness does tend to cause people to walk weird and increases the risk of leg/ankle injuries).
This is almost definitely a technique problem, not a strength problem.

Spend some time to focus on walking properly, pointing your toes forward, landing with your heel and rolling, and make sure you're wearing proper shoes. I'm assuming you aren't obese. If you are fix that too.

The problem more specifically is that my right ankle is weaker than my left, it rolls over easily if I'm not on flat ground. As far as I can tell I walk normally. (I am autistic, so it's entirely possible I've been walking weird without realizing it, I've read that balance/coordination issues are a common autism symptom)
 
I also have this issue with my left ankle. The joint hyperextends way too much. I have a similar issue with my right knee. A specialist said I had too much hyperextension in a bunch of my joints but didn't go further than that. You might just be too loose? I had a bunch of physical therapy for my knee. But I never really got anything done for my ankle because it wasn't rolling much at the time.

Things I've noticed is that when I am sitting or laying down with down with my legs straight out my left foot flops inward unless I intentionally keep it straight. Try doing this and see if you have the same issue. There might be some weakness in your ankle. You say you've never had a sprain. But it's possible that you could have hurt yourself when you were too young to remember. Did you walk on your toes a lot when you were little? It's a common thing with autistic kids. It's actually bad for your feet and ankles. You may have damaged ligaments and muscles over time without realising it.

You may have to see a podiatrist for this. You can look up ankle strengthening exercises. But if the problem persists you are going to need professional treatment. There are orthotics that keep your ankle stable. But I've only used knee braces so I am not well versed in ones for ankles.

My foot doesn't flop inward, but I do think I have hyperextension in my ankle, it bend much more inward than my left one. I don't believe I ever walked on my toes much as a kid.
 
There's a decent YouTuber called chase mountains who had some good ankle mobility and strength excercise that I followed during coof when I kept twisting mine hiking.

Also knees over toes guy and movement by David

It's boring as fuck to begin with because all you can do is roll left and right and up and down until you build strength to do interesting stuff but it's worth. I printed out the routine once I'd followed along on YouTube a few times so that I could read the routine as a reminder and watch something more interesting

I actually really enjoy it now. You're right about the autism, goes the same with ADHD. I've benefited immensely from balance work which you might consider in the future once you strengthen up.
