I Cry and Cry for My Brother

Post Reply New Topic

I wish I could adopt you as my brother.
My NT sister was never considerate of me or my quirks. And my step-brothers came & went in my family.
Your compassion is to be comended. And I do! Thank you for caring so much!

Sincerely,
Matthew

at first I thought you were one of my brothers because your story sounds a lot like mine only i'm the one who's on my own. I feel conflicted a part of me wants to become more social and another part of me wants to stay in my own bubble playing videogames, researching science and taking lone walks.

I probably sound annoying by now cause I keep talking about this, but he is always on my mind. And I'm moving out of the house in a few weeks and I tried so hard to get a him a good job, but I failed, but I typed out a page long letter and I'm going to give it to him when I leave, basically just telling him that I'm always here for him, not to feel lonely, sad, depressed, or hopeless, and that something can always be done. You know, the toughest part is never really knowing how he truly feels so in the end, I said 'And maybe I'm crazy for worrying so much, but you're my younger brother and I'll always worry about you'. I don't even know why I posted this- maybe I just needed to get it off my chest.

Thanks for reading...as tough as it is for someone like him who may have Asperger's, it's very tough for me

Don't lose hope yet - things will get sorted out, eventually.

You know, I had a bad period in my life, when I was unemployed for 3 years in a row. Many of my relatives were very worried and starting to feel desperate that things have become irrepairably messed up... yet I stayed calm and kept telling myself "Everything will be fine, something will come up."

And eventually it did come up and now everything is (almost) perfect

So, as long as none of you ever gives up, things will work out one way or another. Your support is a great boost to your brother - it will help him overcome any difficulties that might appear along the way.

Here's an idea - if he really has Asperger's, then there should be something that he is really good at. Try to find out what it is. And then put it to good use

The best of luck to you and your brother. Look at it this way. Maybe he's happy in his own little world because he might not like this time in history or the state of society as it is today.
