Is My Sister An Aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

As I've said before, I do have strong feelings that my sister is an Aspie herself, reasons being in no particular order...

-My sister tends to be very unreasonable. Whenever my mom or I try to reason with her, she says "I have every right not to be reasonable."

-My sister hates the male gender, including, but not limited to, me.

-My sister hates her only "friend" who she has known since they were in HS together. Sometimes, I wonder why my sister has a friend who she doesn't care about.

-My sister always unplugs the landline phone every morning, in order to avoid calls from everyone.

-My sister uses the same adjectives to describe herself, such as "logical", "realistic", etc. She also expresses little to no emotion, which makes her a Mr. Spock type.

-My sister does think that just because she is older, she has every right to be entitled to what she wants. My sister is 27, as I am 24.

We couldn't possible know.

Although, from your description, she seems more like an over-grown spoiled brat than anything else.

Outside of the Mr. Spock type every else is a sounds like sense of entitlement and misandry including the reason for lack of friends. Of course I have not known her for over 20 years.

She doesn't seem Aspie to me. She seems very neurotypical--and wanting to use some Aspie traits as an excuse to act entitled.

Nothing you listed here seems particular to AS. And even if she is an Aspie, that's no excuse for her to be acting like a bratty teenager.

seems more antisocial to me

Maybe, but if she is antisocial, then why get me to act the same way?

With a lack of friends, then why get me to be just like her? I haven't had any connections outside my family since my old autistic friend and I were forced apart shortly after I turned 18. On another note, my sister's "friend" does express Aspie-like traits to the point where my sister takes advantage of her.
