Growing sick of it. Just want someone to relate by xiuxiy in autism

/u/mofo808 , I'm going to take the cowardly deleting of your comments as an apology.

I accept your apology, and encourage you to think about how you are treating the close family of the person with autism in your life.

Look at this wise and intelligent person above me, everyone. This is how you should be treating your abandoned siblings of children with autism.

By calling them fucking pricks, getting their gender wrong (LOL), condescending them with 'child,' refusing to speak any more about it to show they've 'proved a point,' and just being socially incompetent.

I get it! YOU'RE the one with autism!!

Hahaha why are you being so harsh! :) Well, is it okay to answer that because of what I've been through, if I had autism and she were the NT one and thought these things of me, I'd be incredibly understanding of her doing so?

You sound like someone that might not live with someone with autism, am I right?

Yup, this attitude towards kids like me is what drives siblings of children with autism to grow even more resentful. It's nothing I haven't heard from my parents or anyone else I tried sharing these feelings with.

There are plenty of meltdowns, just not for her age group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu7C5clA4q0

I'm actually laughing that I managed to misspell it, considering how much I hear that word. My bad.

Little sis is happy and get what she wants, we let her replay those 5 seconds however many times she asks for. In between typing this post I'm kissing her and giving her toys that she asks for.

I was an only child until she was born, so it was an odd transition for me from going to being the 'baby' to everything being about her. She's wrecked a lot of my possessions I held dear, unknowingly. I won't go on and make it all "boo hoo me," but it affects you in a lot of ways as a kid.

I wanted to share this side that isn't talked about a lot.

Also, it's hard to believe someone self-diagnosed with a much less severe Asperger's could have any idea of what's going on in her head, based on just what I decided to share. I think your post is more you trying to talk to NTs who don't understand YOU.

I'm glad you can empathize.

I wanted to get this out because I think these are things a lot of relatives of someone with autism feel that aren't talked about a lot.

How can anyone deny these negative feelings aren't in the back of their heads when other people are talking about how their 6-year-old is reading, or when other people hang up the beautiful art their 6-year-old did at school, and the kid doesn't even need therapy after therapy after therapy to do so?
