I have one three year old brother nicknamed Boo with severe autism. He's an amazing artist for his age, he's really bright and can be the sweetest little kid in the world. He can even recongize and name all the major Star Wars characters, but he sometimes he confuses Luke with Han Solo (I'm working on that ). My brother does get super upset when he has trouble talking to others, which I can relate to. Boo also gets a bit violent, and he's a big boy so I've gotten plently of nosebleeds and bruises. Still, I love him all the same. I hope all that therapy he's getting is helpful.
My 16y brother (from another mother) Matt's not autistic, but he's got some weird issues. He's got depression and OCD, and he believes he's scizophrenic. He's also got a really strong obbsession with Nazi Germany, but I'm going to ignore that. Afterall, I've got my thing with torture and nuclear bombs.
Alex (another brother from another mother lol) is like the child Jesus sent to give me a break from the chaos of the world. He's got some seperation anxiety problems, but his mom died when he was 4, so that's normal. It's nice to hang out with him because he's normal enough that it's not all insane when we're all together, but he's "broken into" weirdness enough that he's comfortable around the rest of us.
I wouldn't change anything about any of them... okey maybe less tattling on Matt's side and less tantrums on Boo's side... and Alex needs a freaking haircut. Why would an 11 year old want a mohawk?!
