my siblings were similar and we didn't even know I had AS at that time. Time will make him less immature and he will realize it is a serious issue and not to be ridiculed. Tell him though. Tell him that you don't like the way he treats you.

I have had similar problems in the past with friends and family, unfortunatly I just ended up losing my temper and just physicaly fighting with them.
Bad Bad mistake. Anyway, the best thing I can sujest is talking to him, about it, or tell somebody to make him back off.
I have difficulty dealing with these types of situations so I aint the best to be giving advise. Just try not to react to any comments etc when he is around.
Maybe he will get bored and lay off. Try not to do what I do and start fighting with people 9 out of ten it goes horribly wrong. I have 2 cousins who wont talk to me because of this.
So I guess I have told you what you SHOULDN'T do i guess.

It really is just as stupid as hating black becasue of thier skin colour hating aspies. i think its just a lack of understanding and knowledge of the disorder and bad stereotyping.

my parents a lot of the time defend my brother as well which is very mean of them and I do not understand why they would do it? Maybe my paretns don't like aspergers either?
