I feel like my brother is different from everyone else. I think he can take care of himself though. I get really mad when kids make fun of my brother. I tell them to knock it off. It may seem like it�s unfair that I have a brother with autism but I think it�s more unfair to him than it is to me. I do sometimes get jealous of him.
The thing I like the most about my brother is that even though he�s autistic he�s a good brother. He sort of listens to me. We have the most fun when we play tag in the house. The thing I like the least is he sometimes hurts me. He will choke me or kick me.
When my brother was first diagnosed with autism I didn�t know what that meant. When I learned more about it I thought he�d have lots of trouble. Sometimes I worry about him getting hurt. He isn�t afraid to run in front of cars or jump off high places. One time he was on the ledge of our porch and it broke. I thought he was going to fall. I think his guardian angel caught him. That was the most scary time.
What I want to say to other kids with autistic siblings is that even though they are different and sometimes you get made fun of they will always be a good brother or sister. Sometimes you need to help them out. That�s all.
