What do you wish NTs knew/understood more about ASDs?

lolwut? You should respond, "if that's not stupid, what is it?"
I agree with starkid hehe. I think your brother is just immature, he will probably understand as he gets older. Or maybe he is saying that just to get a reaction from you.
I appreciate the sentiment, but my brother is 52. I doubt aging is going to gain him much understanding....lol. You just have to know him. He's the exact opposite of me -- spontaneous, quick-tempered, quick to judge, acts before he thinks, believes he's right ALL THE TIME. (God...reading all those things in one line completely weirds me out...lol.) To be fair, he's actually become pretty understanding since all this came to light. He's treating me much better; it's just that he isn't interested in sitting down and actually talking to me about this in detail and learning more about it -- hence, the "crazy" comment.
Yeah I saw that later, I didn't realise your brother was 52. I'm glad he is more understanding now at least
