NT Siblings?

Post Reply New Topic

I am 23 recently self diagnosed. For me I think having two older brothers in close age really helped for me to learn a lot of social deficiencies. I am actually a very social aspie due to my work being an engineer, but that does not mean I struggle during these social situations.

I would like to know what who has experiences with NT siblings and how has being around them affected your Aspergers qualities?

I have a brother 8 years younger, and there were many times when my only 'friendships' were kids his age who were friends with him but liked me fine as well. So I'd say he's brought me more social contact, even if not quite ideal. I'm probably better at interacting with kids because of him, but he can't help me with people my own age because he's so much younger.
