My little brother might have autism

my little cousin whos about 2 has autism so if your brother does its not really much of a problem you just have to keep an eye on him and make sure the things hes constanly doiung arnt dangerouse also interact with him and play along if he does something over and over it might wear you out a bit too so be prepared! but he can also learn things like letters and numbers and all that it might take some practice and repetitive reminding but he’ll start to get it

If he does have Autism or even Aspergers, you will finally know the best ways to interact with him. A label won’t change who he is, it will help you and your family and friends understand him better.

just be informed regarding this disability so you can understand it, and your brother as well. you just have to accept him from what he is because his condition is not his choice. it’s sad to think that these people are stigmatized and the hell that they will go through because of other people’s prejudices. your brother needs your patience, love and understanding.

You must have Empathy for him which makes you an empath. Though it’s a noble thing to be (feeling other peoples pain), it can make for a horrible way to live. I know because I do the same thing. When my cat was sick, recently, I got sick too. That’s pretty bad but I just care about him so much and I think that is what you may be dealing with.

Honey, my little brother has autisim. He couldn’t speak until he was 4, and he’s what most people would consider, ‘socially challenged’. But when he’s interested in something, he’ll stick with it, and you can ask him one little question about it and he’ll know absoloutly everything. No worries Chicka! Just chill, he’ll be fine, and so will you.

Autism kids are just like everybody else. They don’t look any different. They just act different and learn different. You have nothing to worry about.

Once he gets diagnosed, read as much as you can about autism and Aspergers. Nerd is absolutely right – if he is somewhere on the autism spectrum, you do need to be aware, and allowances have to made for him. Many succesful people suffer from autism and there’s lots of support for families out there. Try not to worry. But its certainly not to be ignored and not to be taken lightly, This is a lifelong ailment that needs constant attention. If you’d like to write to me, I can help, as a parent of one.
