My little brother might have autism

My little brother is getting tested for a mild case of autism. He has all the signs and im really worried. I don't know wt to do. Im freaking out!!!

If he does have Autism or even Aspergers, you will finally know the best ways to interact with him. A label won't change who he is, it will help you and your family and friends understand him better.

Autism kids are just like everybody else. They don't look any different. They just act different and learn different. You have nothing to worry about.

You must have Empathy for him which makes you an empath. Though it's a noble thing to be (feeling other peoples pain), it can make for a horrible way to live. I know because I do the same thing. When my cat was sick, recently, I got sick too. That's pretty bad but I just care about him so much and I think that is what you may be dealing with.

Once he gets diagnosed, read as much as you can about autism and Aspergers. Nerd is absolutely right -- if he is somewhere on the autism spectrum, you do need to be aware, and allowances have to made for him. Many succesful people suffer from autism and there's lots of support for families out there. Try not to worry. But its certainly not to be ignored and not to be taken lightly, This is a lifelong ailment that needs constant attention. If you'd like to write to me, I can help, as a parent of one.

my little cousin whos about 2 has autism
so if your brother does
its not really much of a problem
you just have to keep an eye on him
and make sure the things hes constanly doiung arnt dangerouse
also interact with him and play along if he does something over and over
it might wear you out a bit too so be prepared!
but he can also learn things like letters and numbers and all that
it might take some practice and repetitive reminding
but he'll start to get it
