Autism


Question Posted Sunday January 14 2007, 8:10 pm

13/f. My brother, who is in highschool, is autistic. Its very hard for him to make friends, he only has a couple. He is pretty smart also.

I feel extremely bad for him though, and so I usually hang out with him when we are at home unless he's practicing piano or doing homework. Me and him RARELY fight, which is a good thing because I want to make sure he feels close to people all the time. His medicine makes him lose his appetite so he is a tall skinny stick, and sometimes he can be embarrasing but I know that its because of his disease.

I worry about him so much though. Sometimes at school the kids will make fun of him and he cries a lot at school. Sometimes he will yell at the teachers when he is frustrated, and once he got detention for punching a kid when the kid took his pencil. He overreacts, and he knows it, but of course he can't help it. I feel so bad for him, because I know how its hard for him. He stutters alot too.

Sorry this is long, so I'll just wrap it up. Sometimes in bed I think about how worried I am to the point where I need to cry myself to sleep. How can I stop worrying? I think about him constantly wondering what's happening to him that moment and it scares me. I'm always scared something bad will happen to him.

Thanks in advance
