I've got an NT sister and sort of but not quite NT brother, I get on well enough with them but they do make me want to tear my hair out.

I used to look up to my brother when I was a kid. He was the only boy in the family and I preferred boys over girls. These days I don't look up to him much anymore. He is an intelligent funny guy, but he can be on the arrogant side. We have a common music taste so I always see him at shows or we go to similar shows.

My sister that is only 1 year older to me has bullied me throughout my childhood. She called me r-tard, adopted, kicked me under the table, called me psycho when I lashed out and tried to make me bleed by digging her nails into me. I still have a problem with her but she at least doesn't use the word r-tard anymore. We have the most in common with TV shows and movies. I wouldn't say we have the most in common with music but we still talk abotu The Beatles. She's an indie kid and I'm a punk rocker.

My eldest sister was bossy growing up but she's the nice one now, the one to ask for advice, the one to go to for comfort.

I have an NT sister who's three years younger than me. We never really did get along. She's too much into the next coming century, and I'm too much into the past century. I've tried many times, for us to get along. She gets very sarcastic about the 1960s, and I feel the same way about the years, 2000 to 2009. Sometimes, 1965 and 2010 just can't be in the same room, without clashing.

The way I view love is loss, as I stated I don't really understand and find my non aspie(have older brother and yougest sisiter who are aspie as well) sisters annoying, but if they were to be killed I would find I miss them I guess; I can cope with change(pretty well..), but that kind of a dramatic change would render me... I don't know how to describe. I don't know, it depends on the individual I guess, whether NT or aspie everyone has a different opinion on love(or closest facsimile), and who they give it to.
It depends on how your relationship (if any) is with family/friends.

(As with many it is hard for me to describe emotions when I don't really understand them well, sorry if the above comment does not make sense.)

I have a "middle" brother who is 4 years younger than myself. He is a very manipulative person along with being two-faced. When I was in the hospital for a suicide attempt, he came in (I really didn't want visitors) and said how much he supported me......but then he told my mom that he thought I was just doing this all for attention. He will constantly remind you of all the things he has done for you. I don't like being around people I don't trust.....and since I can't sense deception or manipulation....I just try to avoid him.

I get along with my 5 NT brothers quite well but they never really get the point of have set routines and I quite dislike how they have to ask about why I do certain things like why I sleep with myself surrounded by pillows or why I have an odd fixation on cold temperatures and blue LED lights

I have 2 NT brothers, and we got along pretty well . . . typically lived by the 2:1 majority rules bit (had to, parents didnt like arguments, so everyone lost if no one could agree). When games came into view, childish arguments pretty much faded away (hormones pending of course).
