Siblings with AS

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone here have a sibling with AS too?

I have a twin brother with milder AS than me. He's better a socializing and starting up conversations, but really doesn't have much of a social life. He recently moved in with me. He's becoming more interested in learning about AS, which I think he's kind of been in denial about, not really wanting to talk about it much. He's thinking about joining WP. AS is about the only subject we've never gotten together on much.

I suspect at least one of my sisters does, possibly two. I don't think I can bring that up because she might not like it. I would certainly mention my condition to my family once I get the diagnosis.

It would be nice to have your brother here as well. Maybe his username can be yours plus 2 or something. That way it's easy for us to identify the two of you as brothers. Or could be something completely different.

Two of my siblings have mental disorders but none are on the autism spectrum.

I have a brother with childhood disintegrative disorder.

My bros are definitely spectrumites but have never been diagnosed. They deal with their social awkwardness by hamming it up and essentially being 'class clowns'. It worked awesomely well for them, especially as they always got high marks in school so the teachers found it difficult to be too hard on them.

Now both are out of school and have gotten jobs in their field of special interest.

*Sigh*. They're awesome. <3
