Non-AS Siblings

Post Reply New Topic

ha, realized when I came back to read that once again I failed to provide context...

my NT sibs haven't returned my phone calls for 2 years. I suspect it has to do with not being able to deal with my son's NVLD. amongst my non_NT sibs, I have one I've never met, so no data, one who I never speak to and is completely uninterested in a relationship, and one who parrots my mother's condemnation every time I do something she thinks I shouldn't, which led me to break off the relationship... so, I guess I don't even feel the "I love you because you're my sibling" that much, so it seems an utter waste of time to try to find out how any of them feel about me, the AS me who doesn't live up to expectations.

Maybe he is trying to fit in with his friends, which is most likely could be the case.
Maybe he wanted to have a normal sister probably?
Maybe he is having a couple of issues of his own like personal, school, etc.
You did say that you are usually right and it makes everybody look bad everytime you would try to prove everybody wrong to me for some odd reason does sound like hes jealous because your always right, maybe to him he feels hes maybe wrong?
Who knows? Your brother would be the only one who would know the reasons why hes been feeling like that?

For you, you don't really need to worry as you're living your dream life

I'm the youngest of my family. I have three older brothers. The middle one and I are like BFF's and he finds me intreging he even made sure to marry a woman who also found me intreging. The first one thinks I'm pretty neat too. The last one and I fought like crazy as kids despite the fact he's 10 years older than I am. He married a nice girl who finds me cool but he himself was always teasing me about my special intrests and how I didn't like to be touched. He had to do a paper about AS for school and ever since he's been a little bit more understanding. My mom says it's because he's subconciously resentful of me because at the time of my adoption he was the "baby" and because I was so needy I demanded a lot of my parent's attention. Is that my fault? I didn't ask for anyone to adopt me or have any memory of it. We're all adults now and they have families of their own but when when they were in school they were always bringing their friends home and their friends always thought they had the cutest little sister. I guess I have a pretty good relationship with my siblings.

I have an NT older sister, who's 31. We're actually really close. When we were growing up she always watched out for me and basically spoke for me because I was so quiet.

The other day she just casually mentioned, in the middle of a random conversation, that she thought I shouldn't have kids. At first I thought she was talking about the fact that any kids I have would have a 50/50 chance of getting the congenital bone disease I have, which makes my bones break like glass, but then she mentioned the fact that I have Asperger's.

Now, my sister is a really nice person but to be quite honest, she's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. She literally has trouble reading new words that are more than 2 syllables. There have been three times in the past week where she was reading something out loud and got stuck on a word. I actually had to walk over and read the word for her. Seriously, she couldn't read "simulated" or "apologists" and yet she, in her infinite NT wisdom, felt that I should look into a sperm donor if I ever want to have kids.

Apparently, the fact that I have an F'n genius IQ (150 when I was tested by a neurologist at the UCLA center for Neurology, during which time I was smoking about 3 bowls of weed a day) and am one of the most logical, calm, slow-to-anger people you'd ever meet isn't enough to merit having my genes continue on in the world.

Seriously, I love my sister, but sometimes...
