Is everything going to be okay with my autistic brother?

I live with an autistic brother, and lately it's really been bugging me. He's 10 years. old but he acts like he's 6. Sometimes I just feel like crying because no one can understand what it feels like to practically never have friends over cause you're worried your brother will hurt them. I don't really need advice as much as I need reassurance that everything is going to be ok...

But by the grace of God, it could have been you or any of your friends or I who were born with autism....he didn't ask for it....love him and have compassion for him because he's a person, just like you with unique talents, problems, and shortcomings....just explain to your friends his condition and that he won't harm them....they'll understand....this situation will pass for you....you'll grow to adult and have your own family in time, so help him, he needs you.

Good Luck and God Bless !!

I do agree with amblessed. But you just have to understand him. There are other children that are like him also. I remembered that I watched Larry King Live and Bill Cosby was on there. Which he was talking about autism. Which that was good. There were mothers that was on there speaking out how they found out that their own children had autism also. I am wondering if you saw that. I feel sorry about your brother being that way. I do have a cousin that is in Indiana. But she gets different clients where she works at. But she works right with autistic children like she would with your brother. But she does everything that she can with them. I remembered watching something else that was on television. I remembered seeing this girl with the same disorder. She did everything she can that she put herself into doing this. But it will be ok. Your brother does need you. He loves you. It doesn't matter how anybody was born. I was born with Down Syndrome. But I am fine. I feel lucky on how I was born. We were all put here for a reason. Just be with your brother and love him conditionally. That is what it takes. Understand him as long as you can. Good luck with this.

Hope it was really helpful.
