my brother is autistic. and I was never taught anything about autism? like to this day im not even sure what autism is cause i dont see anything wrong wth my brother or even other kids with autism. but maybe thats just cause well, he’s always been autistic and ive always had to watch out for him, but i realize that because i dont know a lot about autism, even though i should know all about it. I find myself sitting in my room with just a wall separating me and my brother’s room and I’ll hear him talking to himself and I’ll think I wish my brother was normal. Or when im in public with him ill wish i didnt have to worry about him so i could go have fun with my friends instead of spending forever in video game stores and ill think i dont get why I have to always stick up for him and babysit him i want to live my life. or when my mom tells me ill always have to take care of him? ill think well maybe i dont want to? maybe i want normal kids and a normal family. and now im kinda thinking i really want to understand autism more.
