I am high functioning autistic and very normal in the way I live my life. I just do not understand the Earth Rules at times.
As a child I hated getting out of bed of a morning to have breakfast with my three brothers because they did not understand anything about High Functioning Autism.
They grew up to hate me, most likely because I was treated differently. They still hold that same hate today ....... 50 year on.
I am not blaming them, but I feel sad that they do not include me in their activities. In their minds I do not exist and they have told me so.

I have one sibling, who has mostly ignored me all my life. We write a bit now, but I'd have just been a dead weight if I'd tried to socialize with her friends. Not fun for either side.

Sibling rivalry is very common but I guess autism is likely to emphasize the resentments and jealousies. You're likely to be at an additional disadvantage if you're not the eldest. I wasn't happy when my younger brother came along and it's still tense, we only see each other once or twice a year and after two hours I'm exhausted.

Sisters of aspies despise them for being weak men who can't or won't support them financially, do not have interesting social lives, do not understand theirs, cannot provide emotional support, and can't or won't defend them from danger. I assume NT alpha men are like that. Shy, coward, boring, inept, weak, and cannot stand up in a fight or move up in society, not relatable socially - are all qualities NTs wouldn't be caught dead having.
