I wouldn't fret on it too much. My brother and I had nothing - zero - to do with each other at this age. Now we are in our 40's and we are relatively close. We get along and we love each other. Somewhere along the line, we came to understand that it's OK to hang with someone who is really different...

The younger brother could be misreading the older brothers intentions due to the autism. The older brother may be portraying his intentions in the wrong way due to the ADD. You should monitor their relationship closely and try to spot any situations where this sort of thing occurs. I've been watchi...

They never really had a bond, since there's a big age gap between the two. But ever since my oldest son started to get ...

Wow, how confusing, being shuffled around like that! Has he tried a therapist or even the school counselor/psychologist? Could there be any life circumstances that make him feel worse? Could any of these be changed? Does he talk to you about his wants/needs at all? What are things like, from his pe...
