In the end I let him win and I left the room. I went upstairs and went onto my computer and did something accidentally which turned off this item (it connects to my PC), whilst he was using it. I heard the door slam downstairs and heard him running up towards me. I got scared so I ran to the bathroom to lock myself away from him, it was too late. He beat me up violently. My parents blamed it on me for whining him up. I need advice.

I thinks i carry a disgusting smell around me, and i literally can't have to stay a floor apart because He can't stand to see me. My whole childhood he's beat me up if I triggered him. At this point I want to move house, my parents just lets him get away with things.

I am to the point where I feel like I don't even have a brother anymore, I just have a person in my house who alway starts fights and is mean to me. We do the same things and have the same friends and its just too hard. He has this hate for me that I don't understand because I am very nice to him! I just feel alone and overwhelmed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-62761400806146323502016-06-06T18:21:57.308-07:002016-06-06T18:21:57.308-07:00I hate that my brother has aspergers, he is 18 now...I hate that my brother has aspergers, he is 18 now, two years older than me. I know were not supposed to say that, but he is intolerable. He just had one of his episodes and locked me out of my house after tackling me down and cruushing me. He tortures our pets and anytime something doesnt go his way threatens to either leave o r hurt himself. My dad cant control him at all, and he will only ever listen to my mom. They only recently diagnosed him, so it has been very weird for me to suddenly have to understamd that everthing he does is not actually his fault. Ever since I can remember I have been an over achiever, and have had many other of the problems that this article talks about, which I wish had been used with me when I was younger. Everyday is a gigantic struggle, and it just seems so unfair, I too wish that I could just run away sometimes and not only feel like I am disappointing my parents every day.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006053062841275476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-72094508658459204332016-01-09T12:20:41.719-08:002016-01-09T12:20:41.719-08:00This was useful, to see all the things I felt were...This was useful, to see all the things I felt were lacking in how my parents dealt with me and my sister were true, real things that I needed.Scratchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922763711758025854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-39717677666019410902015-01-31T18:01:27.480-08:002015-01-31T18:01:27.480-08:00Mr.Gavin, I totally understand everything you wrot...Mr.Gavin, I totally understand everything you wrote. It's hard to understand and keep forgiving but you are such a good big brother for trying and doing so. You are such a good big brother. Something my mom has always told me is that you have to take all those good memories that you may have with your sister and when she or you are having a tough day, remember them. It makes it easier to know it isn't always like this. <br />You see, your sisters brain and your brain are wired differently. You both see the world in complete different ways.<br />It's okay to feel everything you're feeling. I'm 19 and feel what you feel.<br />You are such a good big brother, you don't even know it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-8479650514320911302014-11-11T19:08:03.660-08:002014-11-11T19:08:03.660-08:00My 6 year old sister has aspergers and i am 12.

I never understood why my brother did the things he did- he was extremely violent to the point I have repressed most of the memories of my parents and I being hurt, had no friends, and had the strangest obsessions that would last for a few weeks and disappear as fast as they came.<br /><br />I realize now, many years later, that he has Aspergers. Nobody explained to me as a child. My parents tried to pretend he was normal and never properly dealt with him the way he should have been. Throughout my childhood I tended to be neglected why they gave extra attention to my brother. This led me to feel like I had to be perfect all the time, and led to a lot of mental issues for ME in the future such as severe depression, loneliness, and the inability to trust any other person.<br /><br />All I'm trying to say in this post is that if you as a parent of an Aspergers child is reading this, please take what this article says to heart. If my parents had followed the advice in this article, my and my brother's lives would have been A LOT easier and a lot less painful. Aspergers is not a disease to ignore. Regarding the other child(ren), make sure not to give less attention to them because they're "normal" and don't lie to them about the other child's condition. It will lead to future problems within the family as a whole.Olivianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-25397345400381303362012-03-27T07:28:10.253-07:002012-03-27T07:28:10.253-07:00I have a step son that was just recently diagnosed...I have a step son that was just recently diagnosed with aspergers syndrome. The psychologist also said he has a severe learning disability. He has "episodes" roughly once a week. Usually when he doesn't get his way. He also threatens to kill himself if he doesn't get his own way. He has always been very manipulating and his father is constantly coddling him. He will "blow up" and then be fine. He has an episode like that and then his dad will go and buy him a new violent video game. When the other kids see this they get upset because he doesn't get them anything. He doesn't make him follow the rules of the house like he does the other kids. And he says if he has a good week at school or gets through this or that that he will reward him with a new game. I don't believe that he has been diagnosed correctly and his father won't acknowledge my feelings. He is 13 and has been in and out of pcychiatric hospitals and juvenile detention centers over 10 times combined. It is taking a toll on my marriage. The psychologist said that he should be supervised when he goes for walks and bike rides. But his father just lets him go and hopes nothing bad happens. I have offered to go to counseling with him and my husband but the request just falls on deaf ears. I'm at my wits end with the whole situation. If anybody can give me any insights on what I should do I would be receptive to any ideas.Kea83https://www.blogger.com/profile/02819437125141059769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-9580747107120091392012-03-20T01:30:04.466-07:002012-03-20T01:30:04.466-07:00YOur story of having an asperger sounds a bit fami...YOur story of having an asperger sounds a bit familiar. My mum never challenged my brother, RObert as she was afraid he'd cut off all communication like he did my grandmother and others at times he didn't get his own way. So my Mum grew up afraid of 'upsetting RObbie'. She had no trouble upsetting me. <br /><br />Since my Mum died, he has gone haywire. Accused me of poisoning my mum (she died at my place), saying I'd stolen my mum's jewellery when I took it out of her empty house (despite me telling our solicitor and my brother I was doing so).<br /><br />He refused to talk to me for months, until he wanted something: to be given control of the Estate I had to go to court to get (he appointed a State Trustee who would have charged $500,000). I asked my brother 3 times to administer the Estate by himself, but he was not responding to anything I emailed to him. He's now demanding all these powers he doesn't have. I'm being polite of course, but just want to tell him "piss off - you've had your chance and you refused so bad luck". <br /><br />This certainly has been an interesting year. Having his way in our family all his life hasn't helped him. Plus he's married to a bitter asperger woman who thinks I'm the devil incarnate (on first meeting 15 years ago). She's overweight and unattractive and I'm not - maybe that's why. <br /><br />Life strange hey? I'm glad to accept he's never going to want a relationship with me - quite frankly (after many tears and self-doubts for months on end) that's a relief. He's done me a huge favour & letting go is hard - but once you do it - very freeing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
