Is your brother capable of living independently? or does he require help?

So, Miss Mikoro, how are things going with your brother? Did you get into Day Program yet, and meet new people? :|

Live your own life.


It is hard to describe or explain exactly what he is doing but he doesn't want me to leave home

It's not just the possibility of me finding love and getting married that is causing him to act like this but the fact of the matter is he doesn't want me to leave home PERIOD

Regardless if I leave home due to marriage or independance

My brother has Autism too BTW if that means anything

Okay. That makes the situation much more understandable. That he is also autistic.

Which of the two of you is more autistic?...if he is more impaired than you than his actual survival may be at issue. You may need to move him to somekind of supervised home.
