This is a vent because all of my fam is on my other social media accounts and im pretty sure none are even on this site.

For context my youngest brother is autistic.

I love my brother do not get me wrong here. That is my youngest sibling, i love him to death. But he is fucking annoying. Not in the typical way, but in the I want to strangle him sometimes before punting his ass into space. He never does anything he's told and i would've been beat for attempting the shit he gets away with. He eats almost all the food, or makes it inedible for everyone else. He could be told to clean and then sit on his ass and do nothing. He steals everyone elses shit and throws a tantrum when you borrow his. He starts shit he can't finish with our other siblings. And on top of it all, you could catch this boy with his hand in the cookie jar, he will look you dead in the face "i didn't do that" then proceed to say why it was someone who was nowhere near the scene of the crime,and i stg i want to punch him when it happens.

BUT, like i said, he is my youngest brother. I understand he doesn't think the same way as anyone else. I genuinely want to see him do good in life. He is just frustrating to deal with, there are good days too. He will wrap his toys and other things in paper and tell you he has a gift for you. He can sit and just T A L K for hours. I would be devastated if something happened to him. Would i like better if he listened to mom? Y E S. I wouldn't be able to sit if it were me. Medication makes him a glorified zombie, and our mom doesn't like that. We're looking and experimenting with the various ways, and the progress is painfully slow, but progress is still there

I wanna talk about my sister for a second.

She has autism and adhd, just like me but it's worse for her. And often it causes us to clash a lot and we don't have a typical sibling relationship. But god damn she can be so impressive. Like she has 300 original characters and keeps track of ALL of them and can tell you all about Pokémon and Terraria and just... It's so impressive. And seeing her blossom in her safe space online and having online friends and roleplaying. Like I'll be the first person to call her annoying and struggle with her difficulties but I'm proud of her.

SOMEONE PLEASE APPRECIATE THE ARTISTIC GENIUS I POSSESS

I was making a card for my brother for his bday and I was drawing fish on it bc they’re his special interest and I was using a reference for two of the three fish…

CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE I FREE HANDED????

So the water is currently off in my street, and because we’re a priority household we got a bunch of bottles of water dropped off. So like my brother was asking why we’d got them and my mother was like ‘it’s because you’re autistic and have a disability. Well not disabled but you have a disability’

And I’m just like mmmm mother think about what you said

Its wild to me that people actually see their siblings differently because their autistic

Cause my brothers autistic but that has never once been a factor in my opinion of him or how I treat him.

I never saw him as different or even noticed his behavior was not normal because it was just normalized to me since I grew up spending the most time with him. Ive never considered him my "autistic brother" hes only ever just been my older brother.

And our relationship is definitely different to how other siblings are but over growing up together we have an understanding of eachother and how we show eachother love.

This might just be because I myself am neurodivergent and so is my sister and my parents so I just grew up in a neurodivergent household. So that may be why its so normalized to me but I just dont get how people could see their siblings differently because their autistic.

Heh, our moms at work, so im looking after my younger siblings. One is sleeping off a stomach ache. Another is sleeping or watching anime in bed. My brothers are downstairs watching T.V. there's a room infamous youngest brother isn't allowed in (storage room) so i put up a sign that reads " You need permission from (my real name here) or Mom to enter this room." I even signed it. Its the fact that it actually is working so far that's amazing me.

As the "Difficult Child" he ignores rules sometimes. I can't tell you how many time i have to say " stop messing with the dog before he snaps and bites you." This has very little to do with him being autistic, he just happens to be a little shit. I deadass forget he's autistic sometimes.

Also note: if he does misbehave, i make a note and tell mom. I dont do anything to him personally. my main job is to make sure no one gets hurt, and help them out when they do.

My brother is so damn hilarious yet spoiled. He started shit with our second oldest sibling, then after i broke them up, he went upstairs into the bathroom and had an "argument" with himself (like all kids do when they're mad). Now he's "upset" that mom didn't bring him Chicken Alfredo, (mom cooks in the fancy restaurant in town) lol 😂😂
