I would say its possible that we are closer because of my autism, because he has always taken
an active role in looking after me as a special needs kid, so there is a very deep bond.

That's really sweet, made me very happy reading that. XD

Ezra, that really is great.
Norny, I have seen this (XD) a couple of times on WP. What does it mean?

It's a big smile!

I don't get on well with my younger brother, but my older brother doesn't live with us and I get on better with him.

My older sister HATES ME and always has. My mom and sister have told me this story... My sister told my mom when I was born, "I hate her!" and my mom said "why?!" and she replied with, "because she was born!". So that has summed up the last 24 years with her. She's getting married this year and she said that she doesn't want me to be a brides maid or maid of honor. I was deeply hurt by that. My mom has privately talked to her about it and my sister said she doesn't want me involved because I'm weird and too complicated and I'd add stress to her wedding day. She tells me all the time that I'm annoying and I piss everyone off. So yup, that's me and my sister for ya.

I have two older sisters and a younger brother.

I have never had a good relationship with my sisters. One of them treats me nicely but is distant, both physically and emotionally. The other sister is a huge drama queen and we can barely tolerate each other.

On the other hand, I am extremely close to my brother. We spend a lot of time together, have little inside jokes, and always support each other emotionally. It saddens me to think that one day he will move out and start his own life.

Your relationship with your brother sounds really beautiful. Even when he moves out you will still be very close. You may even become closer.

My sister is NT. Talkative and popular. I'm an embarrassment to her, apparently. She's younger but is always patronizing. Doesn't like me to be around her friends because I'm weird. It's a disappointing relationship.

That's about the same way my sister felt about me when we were growing up......I can relate.

My sister acted the same way towards me as well.

i think that is part of the secret with closeness between me and my cousin,
we spend a lot of time together, but we dont live together.

I have 2 brother and 3 sisters. i didn't develop deep emotional bonds with neither of them all. i really don't look up to my parents, since they could't provide me with needed care.

but i like my uncles and aunts and cousins and hug with them. i resent doing that with my parents or sibling. i can't bear it.

I have a brother with AS, and we are very close. It helps that we share some obsessive interests and once we start talking, it's hard to stop. To others listening in on our conversations, we would appear completely insane. We have such a close relationship people think we are twins.

My older sister is NT, and we're fairly close. She's always looked out for me and took care of me, and reassured me when I was scared. We're not as close as my brother and I, but I do love her a lot, even though she tends to be impatient with me at times.

I'm on okay terms with my mom, but she doesn't understand me and is always trying to push me into being NT.

My dad has AS, and he really gets me and makes me laugh and I'm really close to him. He's great.

I get along with my sister most of the time.

NOT all the time.

I get along fairly well with my brother.

Just not when he takes advantage of my echoing tics.
