Re: To the siblings of somene with a disability -

Feels so good to know other people have siblings like this.
One of my brothers is autistic. And he has some other things too, but I can't remember them.
He loves to burn holes in our carpet . . . which annoys the heck out of everyone and we've had to hide anything potentially hot.
He likes to walk around naked. He doesn't go outside, but it's really annoying, because well, he's naked. He doesn't understand that you just can't do that (he's 15, so it's not like he's too young to know better)
He doesn't know when to stop, either. Like if someone was having a bad day, he will do anything within his power to make it worse. I used to think he was doing it on purpose, but apparently his brain doesn't tell him when to quit being a douche.
He also can't read people. Like if I was having a good day and was perfectly fine, he would ask me (serious face out) what was wrong. I would say nothing politely, and he would reply with "why are you angry with me? What did I do?" It's too hard explaining to him that I'm not angry with him, so I just leave. Like today.
