Ok.. well first of all my younger brother has a mental disability called Autism. I try rally hard to be nice to him and understand him but sometimes he drives me crazy! But my older sister just doesnt understand him AT ALL and doesnt try to help him and is always mean to him. I try to talk to her but shes just mean to me too... What should i do?

Just because he has a disibility doesn't mean he's not human... doesn't she realize that? I mean, why would you be mean to your own brother? Does she have no respect for her family?! What the heck is so hard for her that she feels she has THE RIGHT to treat him that way!?!? If she doesn't listen to either of you, just treat her like she treats him... or beat the crap out of her!!!

summerxbaybee answered Wednesday May 11 2005, 6:15 pm: I agree with the other advice, If your sister is out of hand being rude, Explain how he feels when he's treated that way. Tell your rents they should sit down and talk to her.. Talking doesnt work punishment would. That's really rude of her, Explain he's still a human being Just because he has a mental disability doesnt make him any different to be treated Worse than others.

If they are not aware of your sisters actions, I would not consider it tattling to inform them. Do it in a more adult fashion. Find a time when they are not busy and tell them that you are concerned for your brother. In addition to relaying how she is mean to him, see if you can collectively come up with ways to make things less frustrating for the both of you.
