Hi, everyone. When I was little, I was an only child and I didn't have stepsisters until I was a teenager. Ever since I got stepsisters, I've gotten more stressed out and I've been having meltdowns. I was rather spoiled as a child and I didn't have any brothers or sisters to share my things with so I feel like I'm naturally self-centered and I get rather angry and flip out when I don't get my way like when I want to watch my favorite TV shows. Any other aspies have this problem?

This sounds normal. I heard its hard for all kids to adjust to a new family because they are so used to the way things were.

That sounds rough. I can't imagine non-family members invading my space. It's basically impossible even with family actually.

Well, my brother and two sisters do cause the most of my meltdowns. I used to have to share pretty everything with one sister and I hated it.
