Nice blog. It's rare for blogs to actually have content these days.

Wow, this was a really heartwarming blog post! You're a wonderful sibling to your brother.

Good read. My sister's autistic as well. :o
All year she anticipates the school yearbook and when it comes out she like memorizes the shit out of it. Also she'll find any picture of somebody in the whole book. One time she comes up to me and shows me a picture where you can see like a third of my forehead and my ear. Its pretty neat and I can really appreciate where you're coming from here.
Edit: My sister's not too bad though. She can't talk too amazingly and was never taught in school (so like no significant math or reading) but she can talk decently enough to understand and can definitely learn whatever's taught to her.

You might have Aspergers Syndrome. I don't mind you discussing it here, there's no offense I see. I hope you find what you're looking for.
And thanks to everyone for the kind words! ^^ I really find it amazing to know that some of you guys out there have autistic siblings as well. Thank you for sharing their stories.

I used to work with a guy my age with arberger syndrome (ye I know i'ts not really the same league). He had a very hard time expressing himself in every day situations, but I found out that he started to talk alot when I took him bowling, or played strategy games.
His parents really loved that we found something he really enjoyed! Was the best extra job I ever had, not only because I was payed to basically bowl and play video games, but the feeling of helping this guy enjoying his life.

autism or aspergers dont only manifest in the brain though. there was another guy on TL who did a blog and was like "OH so it turns out i have autism, that's why i have such a hard time talking to people lolol phew" but it's not like that
autism manifests physically CRAZY early and it delays everything. you KNOW something is wrong. you roll slower, you stand slower, you walk slower and you talk slower. it's all delayed, you know from the very beginning that something is clearly not right.
you might wanna see a doc though if you're forgetting how to talk @_@

It usually starts taking effect at about age 3, if that helps too.

This is great.
I wish I had a caring brother like you.

That is amazing, and I love your love as a brother

Im really happy for the fact that you love and support your brother, im also autistic and having people there for you really helps. I also have problems with my social skills as i basically avoid people at all times. The only times i leave the house are when going to school, im way too lazy to even go the store that are only like a 4 minute walk away from the house.

thanks for sharing
pressing onward!

My girlfriend's little brother is also austitic, though to a less severe degree than your brother. He can hold conversations, but he's definitely not well developed in his social skills. He used to be very, very OCD and perfectionist about video games, and still is, but to a lesser degree. I remember back when Soul Caliber 2 came out for consoles he would play campaign mode and try and be perfect. If he lost one match, he would reset the game, wipe the save from the memory card, and then start all over. We've helped him have a bit more patience since then, though

yea my girlfriend has an autistic cousin who's amazing at shooting basketballs, he sank like 26 3-pointers in a row a few days ago, he is very limitied in some stuff but he's got down the repetitive motion so much its incredible

Wow that sounds pretty amazing. I'm pretty sure I would miss within the first 2. t.t

There was a movie a while back about how an autistic child cracked the U.S. Gov't mainframe computer or something. Obviously an exaggeration, but it does show how autistic individuals can be super pro in one thing, but seem to completely lack other more "simple" things.
It was a great read. You're and awesome brother, IndecisivePenguin!
