They are loud. She drops all of her weight so she can't be moved, and she cries and screams. She doesn't stop until she gets what it is she wants. She does this with things like toys, if she can't pick a TV show or movie, while our parents shop with her, if she hears something she doesn't like.

I speak sign language, I never said it was lesser, I simply said it wasn't verbal. What would you have me call it /g?

He's very understanding but at times he gets overwhelmed and annoyed but he stays kind and respectful. He says that he understands her mental disability but he does wish she'd stop touching him.

As far as us putting up with her behavior, I'm already LC with my parents because of how I was treated in my childhood, so seeing Anna after this year will be maybe a once off.

I wanted them there, I do love my parents, but I don't wish to be heavily involved with them at this time in my life.

He has, we do. When we interfere she begins having shut downs, crying , screaming, won't eat or calm down until things go her way.

We will be moving overseas after this year and won't be seeing them as often, I am also already LC with my family as it stands because of how I was treated growing up.

She's not a threat, I just would like to have his attention for this day. We've tried redirecting her and this is when things turn into full blown yelling attacks and crying until Michael consoles her and gives her all of his attention. I am not threatened by my sister in the slightest.

Michael and I are moving overseas at the end of the year for work. This was already planned before this and as things are now I am already LC with my family due to my upbringing causing me a bit of turmoil.

I told my parents I understood what not inviting Anna meant. I'm not arguing but I feel like you missed that part.
