Aspies who have little brothers or sisters

Post Reply New Topic

I have a 14 year old brother. When my parents go to work, they sometimes ask him to watch out for me and keep me company. Which isn't a problem, because he likes hanging out with me. I often consider him to be my older brother, because in some ways he's more mentally, emotionally and spiritually mature than I am. Plus he's taller than me. xD

I have a NT younger sister...4 years younger... I was kinda bullied by her, and i was an embarrassment to her. When I did manage to make friends, they would often end up liking her better and they would become her friends and kinda snub me. She was more socially acceptable, and looked better...formed better relationships with my cousins and relatives...etc..
She drives and holds a normal job. We seldom see each other.

If I'm alone with my siblings, I usually forget to eat, even when I'm not preoccupied with something that is important to me. And I don't bother fixing them anything because they are both old enough to get themselves something. (My youngest brother is 11) But I wish they would get me food when I was hungry, because my 11 year old brother is the best cook ever!

Maybe she was saying that your sister has a victim complex(?)...


My sister, although NT has always had some really serious issues, like a firey raging temper, a neurotic need for conformity...and it is my understanding she drinks alot..has unstable relationships etc...so she certainly has issues.

I have to take care of my parents sometimes. When my mom went in for surgery, she wasn't able to do anything for the family. My dad can make toast, and is limited to that. So I had to do every chore in the house as my mom would do it. As an only child, I have to learn how to take care of myself.

I have two younger sisters 13 year old and a 5 year old (who's HFA).

Now that I think about it it was sort of like my 13 year old sister took care of me instead of the other way around. I went through phases of being scared of the dark (still am, but it was really bad) and I'd always sleep in her room and she'd always turn on lights for me, etc. And she's always in charge of watching my other younger sister, not me.

I have a younger brother (if you call 48 younger), who mainly seemed to have ADHD (hadn't been cataloged back then, we just thought of him as hyper...

Actually, it was usually the other way 'round; they knew he wasn't the responsible one (oldest children are usually like that), so I had to 'babysit' him.
