In terms of pinpointing things like my difficulty with imaginary play and lack of friends/difficulty socialising my sister nails it.
However I can't at all identify with her claim that

As he got older Tim also was prone to some serious rages and frequently got very physical, particularly I recall with his brother Nick
Verbally heated -yes. I tend to raise my voice in such situations ,but the physical aggression is a mystery to me. Certainly it's not something my brother has ever mentioned.
She mentions an incident when I was 20 where she had to hit me to stop me hitting my brother.
What stands out then is a very heated situation where my mother accused me of probably getting a girl I knew pregnant and that we would have funny babies(this was 6 years before I ever had sex) . I can recall my sister hitting me as I was getting angry with my mother and demanding an apology(which never came).
It is true that I can be seen to be more aggressive than I actually I am through tone of voice and build and this could influence my sister's revisionist account of things.
My sister has always been more resentful of the attention I got although the attention I got was invariably more negative than positive in terms of parental support.
