As an autistic person, I appreciate you talking about us and our struggles.
agreed
Agreed.
Ditto, I’m autistic as well
Agreed!
agreed
I myself have autism. People rarely realize it until I tell them, but I have it. I had a fairly normal childhood for a kid with aspergers, but there were always the bullies we deal with. I grew to be really aggressive and loud, but I'm trying to stop that behavior for my wife and daughter.
Same
Me too exept I don't have a wife or daughter
same dude!
It’s always like that honestly, I’m glad that you’re not wanting that for your wife or daughter. That just shows that you’re better than the people who made you feel like nothing, showing them they have no power over you anymore
Pls don’t say Asperger’s it’s outdated and not a real thing and has nazi ties 😭😭
-someone who also got diagnosed with “Asperger’s” (it’s just autism
Holy crap. An actualy wholesome sibling story on youtube. Finally.
I love my siblings dude, it always makes me so happy when other people do too
I love my siblings except my ilder brother. Ppl have reasons, but i still love the other, too! :)@LivvyTube24
Nah, my brother can fit right on my frying fan
yea but the mother blames god for her incompetence instead of herself. i’m atheist so idk if blaming god is against christianity but when i blame god for my problems people scream at me
@@Antonwalnuts because people cant take a joke.
Aww, your brother telling your mom “happy, happy” when she’s upset is so sweet! 🥰
I think he was copying her because she would say that to her. =3
yeah that legit almost made me tear
As a person who is on the spectrum, I can tell that you are lucky to have the greatest brother alive. DON'T LOSE HIM!!!

Am I autistic (I live to draw)✍️
Same here with the whole autism thing and I don’t know where I am still n the spectrum with me being a sort of not wanting to interact with people and don’t understand most things and why they are that way for example
The school system is so fucking broken when I try to put something in perspective.
From what I had heard from you your brother seems like a nice and goofy guy
👍@@user-sw6ys9fy9g
I don't have siblings despite that I'm a serene and optimistic person I have autism spectrum :)
저는 형제자매가 없고 있음에도 불구하고 저는 고요하고 낙천적인 사람입니다. 자폐 스펙트럼을 가지고 있습니다 :)
I’m an autistic person, thank you for actually saying this about us. Defending him and give me more confidence about my spectrum. You really described the struggles very well and you are great!
Hahhahahahhahaha your autistic you are stupid
I rather just find a simple person instead, since I am full of autism, and autism is type of disorder.
@@logantink6829 and @Victoria_RC it’s good to be different! Though I’m not autistic I could tell you both are good people.😊
@@Fairy_Twin1 true, but I'm very sorry for you, Victoria RC, and YoonToons, I'm afraid I cannot do that. *Insert Hal 9000 voiceline here*
Btw Douglas Rain had sadly passed away as of 2018 due to natural causes.
Douglas Rain (May 9, 1928 - November 11, 2018)
He was good, real good, maybe even the best.
Have you been diagnosed by a psychologist?
I'm autistic and my entire family saw me as a burden and wanted me gone. Seeing an allistic person talk about their autistic sibling, seeing that you actually did proper research, listening you talk about your brother in a way that shows you recognized his differences without treating him as lessor, etc., it just makes me so happy.
that sounds really awful that you’re whole family hates you. Hope things are getting better for you
😭😭😭PEOPLE CAN BE SO CRUEL!!!
Just because you are autistic doesn’t mean you are a burden… hope your situation gets better. Maybe you will find someone better than your familly
Im autistic so I respect this, and IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE!
@@remtrm788 no? I hate Jojo’s bizzare adventure, maybe i did one by accident but i don’t know
there was once an autistic boy which came acroos me in the hotel hallways and he kept saying hi to me and it felt so sweet
As an older sister who has an autistic little brother, I want to thank you for sharing this. My baby brother does this all the time, he can't really say words, but he knows what they mean. I might be a crybaby, but when he was going to school for the first time, he looked at me and asked, "Kiss?" and gave me a kissed on the cheek before running into the school. I cried the car way home with my mom in happiness :,)
THAT IS SO SWEET OMG!!! My brother doesn’t quite understand that. He hardly ever speaks but OMG would I KILL for him to do that! On my brother’s first day of school I wrote him a note on a tissue that I know he wouldn’t understand but it was worth it anyway in case he did. (Ans in case you are wondering yes my brother has autism)
@AylinRise aww, its the thought that counts. Very sweet, I wish I had supportive family like that 😅 but I feel like I can't complain about life because someone always has it worse
I swear! I wish I had a sister that supports me like that bro 😢😅😂
Even tho I can speak I can understand the difficulties for others cuz of the way people with autism can be but even if we r not great at showing it we love and care
I have an autistic little sister who doesn't really talk as well, and as the older sister, I would absolutely cry too if my sister said absolutely anything, let alone the word "kiss"
I’m neurodivergent, and I’m so glad you talked about our struggles. Some people aren’t aware we’re not just some stupid people or some super humans, we’re just Normal people. Nothing special.
we are not superhumans, sadly (as much as i wish that was my diagnosis lol) and that is an important thing for people to know
@@user-cl9ep7gn9k yes the results are back and u are a: SUPERMAN!
@@user-cl9ep7gn9k”Hello yes I diagnose you with super speed”
very true. Its strange when people call autism or something else a superpower, when in reality its more of a hindrance for ourselves @@user-cl9ep7gn9k
It is a form of disability. And like any form of disability: It is only a disability because society does not accomodate (or when it does, not necesserily well) for people who exist outside of the norm.
There is some anthropologists who have argued that when we still lived in tribes, people with a different view of the world were deemed more spiritual than others, hence people with autism may have ended up as shamans. There are very likely evolutionary benefits to neurodivergent people.
I'm an ADHDer, and it's so cute how you and your brother love each other so much! I don't have any siblings, so i get my support where i find it. I honestly find these stories so heartwarming and wholesome, and I wish you and the people you value the best life you can muster!
I relate
samesies I have adhd too :) and so are all my friends, but one has autism too
Me to I have A.D.H.D A.D.D O.D.D so it's great to have a wholesome video of this
I hate when people talk bad about anyone with a disability.
With all my respect,
Thank you.
@@Nova-BanksBut some people with disabilities want like privileges (not to give them equal opportunities but like karens) and when someone obviously doesn't listen to them (because they're crazy karens) they insult them because they say they discriminated against them.
Like a guy without one leg who wants a 99% discount on products from a store and when the shopkeeper says no the guy says "eh, you're discriminating me"
@@gattasara I understand but at the same time I don’t cause as an autistic person (+ ADHD) myself i tend to lose my thoughts quickly and I find it hard to understand simple things.
Thank you for your kind reply though. I hope you have/had a nice day.
@@Nova-Banks im also autistic lol
Yoon, as someone with autism, for what it’s worth. I’d imagine that your brother thinks very highly of his big sister and even if he doesn’t talk back I promise you he listens. I have met many people like how you have described your brother and they always have such open hearts that their world view is just so vibrant and beautiful.
I feel represented
I myself have it, and like any other siblings may fight here and there but my sister if she even got a hint that someone bullied me she was more than willing to throw hands, I may see the world differently but sometimes it is good to be different, your disabilities don’t make you who you are, but rather its how you overcome them show the world regardless of what hand you were dealt in life you won’t ever give up. As someone with ADHD, autism, schizophrenia AND type-1 diabetes I never allowed myself to see myself as weak. I don’t hide my disabilities but I proudly share them Cause sometimes Being strong isn’t about lifting weights or Doing something crazy but just being there for your family despite the hardships you and everyone faces. Never give up friends I sure as hell won’t
As someone with all the mental illnesses in the book, such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, pika, etc. I usually talk a lot to my family, I can't make friends, at least easily, I have had loads of great friends but none of them understood me, except for one who was a new student he came up to me and hugged me for no reason. And only would do school work, recess, anything, with me there, when he moved, I got depressed and started homeschool. I moved A LOT so when we finally moved into a bought house "now" I have only made one friend mostly because my conditions get worse and worse, and I'm the one who asked for their phone number, which is huge for me and now I'm going to college next year, I'm in my last year of middle school and I hyper focus on biology, so the lesson here is having these conditions leave me just like you I have my own unique mind we all have unique lives and we all live as humans.
I'm autistic and semi-verbal, hearing how you talked about your brother just made me so happy. To know that not everyone sees people like me as a burden, just was so comforting. Thank you for making this video.
I got autism too mate. I may be high functioning but I still got some shit. But only being semi verbal sounds hard as hell. Hope you have a good one man. Your not a burden
Especially how some of us come out as weird unintentionally. I feel like I don’t belong anywhere at times 🫣
@ItsBillyTripp well im here to tell you that you do belong. Nobody is here without a reason. Stay strong lad
you are not a burden whatsoever!! everything people do for you is because they love you. if you were truly a "burden" people just wouldnt do that
This is so sweet, and you are absolutely not a burden. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s it like being semi-verbal? Or how does it feel when you’re unable to talk? This is a subject that I don’t know that much about, and I’d love to know more if you’re comfortable answering! Thank you for sharing your story!!
My brother who’s 8 years older than me has autism, when I was young I wasn’t really told what autism was just that he had it. Often he would become really angry and sometimes violent and for a long time I thought that’s what autism was.
At 19 I was diagnosed with autism, and finally learning about it definitely made me understand my brother and myself more. And honestly I’m way happier now that I know I’m autistic and that my behaviours and what I feel are normal. This video was really sweet and wholesome and I love how you stand up for your brother !
I am Autistic
No your not
I'm kidding btw

Hello
One of my baby sisters has autism and she is the sweetest, most patient person I know. She's 24 but she has the purity of heart of someone younger, meaning that she needs to be protected sometimes. She's brilliant and a damned good artist. She loves astronomy and still adores the shows we grew up with like Blues Clues and Wonder Pets. Her brain isn't a bad brain, it's just wired a bit differently and she's amazing. People look down on her and treat her like a baby sometimes (including our mom, unfortunately) but she's learning to stand up for herself and is saving to move out, as am I. We're gonna team up and make our own home together. I'm proud of her and I'm gonna keep encouraging her to spread her wings. She deserves to be happy. She deserves autonomy and dignity.
I know I'm a random person you don't know, but, tell your sister that I said good luck 👍🏾
@@CuteKatie608 I will. ❤️❤️
I personally don’t know anybody with autism but I really hope it turns out good for you good luck!! Ps. Keep drawing!@@MusiciansRule07
I have an older brother who has autism.As his younger sister it always felt a bit strange but i love him anyway.I also have another brother(middle child).It can be difficult cause me and my normal brother have…like the responsibility if he does something(for example trying to throw stones at the birds outside)we get into trouble for that.Also(i now he’s autistic)when he does something like not learning for exams my parents remember him kindly of that.If we do that we get shouted on.I don’t think it’s his(i would never)
fault.But i just wish our parents would treat us the same…
I wish your sister the best of luck, and I know you probably won't see this but if you do, please tell her that she is capable of anything and that she is truly ✨a legend✨
Hey! I’m an autistic teen girl who has issues with talking too! Sometimes I’ll go mute (perhaps selective mutism) or I’ll find it so difficult to say words. The way you talked about your brother’s differences made me wanna cry because it was clear how much you love him and his differences. It’s really rare to find people like you, especially as I get older, who react so positively to my autism. It reminded me of how in my first primary school I was called cute by my classmates, who smiled at my differences. It’s given me new faith that I can be properly loved, even with my autism. Thank you! 🖤
Im to❤
That's so sweet 😊
you are loved girl. It takes someone different to make a difference.
i have autism and selective mute and anxiety and tics
Sometimes l get stuck on a word so I stutter a bit
my youngest brother is autistic too! he will be 6 in december. he is non-verbal so i 100% relate to wanting to have a normal conversation with him. i want to get to know him and understand what his interests are. he stims all the time, usually when he's excited. he waves his hands, jumps and screams. my parents are definitely having a hard time with him because he is non-verbal, very destructive and he is oral and shoves anything and EVERYTHING in his mouth. he's super quick about his destructive intentions. i'm not sure if he is aware he's hurting us when he pinches or scratches, but he still does it when he's frustrated. my mom has hard days, as a stay at home mom i understand how hard it can be. he does go to special education in the mornings though, i think it's good! i don't know how to comfort my mom either.. and i feel really guilty for that. i hope he gets less destructive and more bearable one day, but for now we just appreciate what we do have. thank you so much for sharing about your brother, it's really nice to hear that we're not alone! bless you and your family! 💕💕😽
I have autism (mostly anxiety) and seeing how disabled people aren’t being shown as freaks anymore warms my heart.
i got diagnosed with autism in 4th grade and i HATE when people treat me like a normal person until i tell them i have autism, most people say “what the hell is that” but i cant even explain it lol but others just treat me like a baby after i tell them. i want everyone to treat me like my teachers do. a normal person. i love you talking about it, its really accurate!
Ik its like why do you start treating me differently because I’m neurodivergent I’m still the same exact person
@@CrazyDino698 real like im not a child dont treat me like one
Trust me, I’ve been there.
Well, I don't know the feeling, because when I say to someone that I'm autistic (Asperger syndrome, specifically) they just abandon me and never try to talk to me again unless I start a conversation or they see I'm really upset
@@fabiorepetti2492 damn dude.. im sorry
As someone who has an autistic sister, a lot of this is relatable. She’s super happy go lucky and social, is often absorbed inside her devices, eating, or sleeping.
One of my two sisters has autism too.☺️ I suspect that I might be on the spectrum as well, but I haven't been diagnosed. We'll just have to wait and see
As someone who had siblings who abused me it’s really touching to see an older sibling who cares and stands up for their younger brother. As a fellow lad with Autism I say thank you.
As having a twin brother with autism and me having ADHD i have to fully agree with you, because that's exactly what my brother is like
As an autistic person this video was so wholesome to me. I love seeing how much you care about your brother and try to understand him it’s so sweet ❤
Welcome to the club.
Same here
As a person who is on the autism spectrum, I like this video. Thanks, Yoontoons! 😊
i show alot of signs but but only my brother got diagnosed because he has more extreme autism.
Me,my sister, boyfriend, and brother all have Autism😊
I have autism too:D I am not non verbal but I was diagnosed when I was 6
Me too. I am so happy you talked about it.
@@bennywark3103me too I’m autism
I actually have a lot of neurodivergent friends. Most of them I’m pretty sure are, but I only know for sure like 3 autistic people. They’re all high-functioning and can talk and stuff, and they really are the cutest little people and are such a joy to be around
I recently flew from Spain to Argentina to meet my cousin, he's very similar to your brother. He's always happy and loves to play videogames (he's really good) and his conversations with his brother and his parents always end with "I love you". He's so sweet!
As an autistic 18 year old thank you for spreading awareness about this.❤No one knows I have autism until I tell them. I feel not normal because of the stares I get unfortunately. BTW your brother is very relatable. ❤
Huh. Except for the stares (which, I don’t think I get, but if I do, I don’t notice them), I am in basically the same situation as you, or will be in about a month (birthdays and all that). My thoughts on how to deal with the stares is to either ignore them completely, or call them out, like “Can I help you? Or is there some other reason you’re staring at me?

Agreed
y’all, please don’t say your age online, there are like creeps and stuff
@@goose4717yeah probably shouldn’t I’ve seen some WEIRD people
This was very emotional to watch. I am also an older sister, overprotective of my brother, who coincidently, has also been diagnosed with autism. It is very hard to go through the process of growing and understanding, but what you would most need during these times, is hope.
I’m an ADHD. I can relate to him. Distractions, stimming, running, etc… it’s common among neurodivergents.
I was checking on my son's RUclips history and saw that he watched this video. As a father with autism and having a son with autism I just have to say thank you for being such a sweet, caring, empathic and wonderful sister and person! Such a smart intuitive soul you are!
HE’S PURE, EVERYONE
@@user-sk3gd9oy4eYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Is he old enough to hear the word shit just checking
bro stop checking yo sons history☠️
BRO’S PURE🤯🤯
My sister has autism, its so refreshing to find someone who also cares about their sibling as much as I do and I can relate too. You truly are a wonderful human being
I agree with you so much! my brother has autism and I relate to this video a lot. It is truly relieving that someone also cares abt their sibling with special needs. ❤❤
Same and I'm autistic with autism and it's hard with the struggles sometimes I love drawing and games and I'm sometimes stupid and I get angry yk
I have autism (was diagnosed late in life at around 20).
I’m the polar opposite of your brother, though neither of us seem to talk much but I mostly choose not to.
It was more so difficult for my family than for me, especially with their understanding.
I’m not a social butterfly and I’d usually be blunt about not wanting to go places/do things and when I was “finished” with socialising or with an activity like shopping, I would essentially shut down and have little reaction to anything.
For me I view it as almost a curse or a burden, I’m blunt and essentially emotionally numb and it gets tiring the amount of times my family mentions how I have trouble with saying “I love you” or that I don’t do hugs (I abhor physical touch) and it makes me feel bad because I can’t change that, I’ve tried but I can’t unless I do it out of obligation.
I don’t want to be autistic but since it makes up so much of what I am, I’d have no clue how I’d be without it.
As an autistic person, I wish you were my sister lol. For me, personally, I've struggled with speech a lot. As a kid I took speech therapy until I was better at it but it turns out that I'm losing the ability again from like a brain...thing? (I wasn't paying attention when the doctor was talking lmfao)
But speech isn't the only form of communication. I found that I'm very good at writing and storytelling and that's how I communicate my more complicated feelings with my audience and even with my own family. Like if they ask why I was sad, I would connect it to a story I heard and then tell them the story. There's also ASL of course (i'm taking ASL 3 rn) and even drawing.
So yeah, you can't have a normal conversation with your brother. But it's not the only way. You can express your love for each other through different ways or even doing something together that you enjoy or even just parallel play. Actions speak louder than words. =)
Finally! Someone thats not autistic actually portraying Us like a human. You didn't shit post, or point out everything bad about him, or even draw him like he's 3. You have unexpectedly made me very happy.
Also, if you want to know what he thinks about, sometimes other methods work better. Maybe typing on a computer works best, or sign language, or like a secret language you could use could be fun. I bet he understands everything you say and if you ask what he thinks about, he'd be happy to tell you any way that he could.
I have autism and one thing I hate is communication problems.
I want to communicate through speaking like a "normal" person, but when presented with the opportunity, most times my brain does a 180 and decides: "No. I think talking is too complicated. Let's just not."
If I fumble more than two words I just decide: "Nope, this is more effort than it's worth."
@@fiercedeity1764 I completely understand that. That happens to me all the time and it's very frustrating. I can't speak for everyone but I figured out that if I keep talking, something happens.
Can't tell if it contributed to the conversation, but I said things with my mouth so that's something...
Kind of like I'm doing right now...
thankfully
i have autism, and my mom told me that when i was smaller, i couldnt talk til i was like 4 but in those years i talked this gibberish to my mom and sometimes my mom couldnt understand what i was saying, but for some reason my brother knew what i wanted and could communicate to my parents what i wanted, now a days i can talk but i have a small stutter but that was years of speech therapy and having a support system all my life, my family :)
What do u call and autistic person with a gun??
Special forces 😂
I just got diagnosed very late with autism. My therapist was talking to me and my parents about my behaviors that easily go along the lines of OCD and ADHD. Which now, it begins to make sense because ever since I was really little, within maybe an hour of knowing me, they'd ask if I have ADHD but I'd say no because I've never been diagnosed with it. When I said I didn't they'd say stuff like "It's ok you don't have to be ashamed by it" which really confused me because that was just how I was as a person. I guess one main event that sticks with me is a memory of soccer practice one year- Now, I've always been pretty obsessive about my grades and school and I've always gotten good marks, but one day at soccer practice, a guy kept going on and on about how hyper I was and he said that he was surprised that I wasn't a "Special Education Kid" to my face!
I always thought there was something different or wrong with me, so the people in your life seem so much more accepting and i wish i had them
A person did what to you in your face. HAVE THEIR PARENTS TAUGHT THEM NOTHING ABOUT RESPECT OR SOMETHING?
It’s always reassuring to me when someone else talks about autism it shows that I’m not alone and your brother sounds like a great guy
Im autistic and you discribed it quite accurately! even though autism is diffrent for anyone. thank you for bringing this up Yoon!
As someone with autism, this video made me cry. I'm happy to know that there are people like you who stand up for and love their autistic siblings. You sound like such an amazing big sister, and I just want to give you a big hug as a way to thank you for being so understanding when it comes to autism. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Damn sibling stories normally are complete warfare. This one is actually wholesome
Dawg I can’t be treated normal at my school because the second I mention I have autism (and ADHD) they begin making the noises Timmy from South Park makes💀
This story is so cute! As an older brother I loved dressing up my siblings in boy clothes
You get it LOL 😤
Ngl, i rly wished i had an older sister who would dress me up in a dress. Cos then i maybe would've figured out i was trans sooner(or not,idk). And then proceed to steal their wardrobe
@@yoontoonsif someone was treating your brother like a a freak my mom is from Jackson Mississippi & she would give them hell for it. 😈😤😮💨
I have autism, and this was really nice to see. I am fully verbal, but I've known people that aren't, and this was just really cool to see. I also have gone through hard times, especially recently, and it's nice to know that I'm not alone
GO YOU YOUR AMAZING you can go through the toughest of times and still have the bravery to tell strangers about it if not in genuine language form but in text you still can be inspiring people and having the courage to just leave a comment no matter who you are is amazing but telling something you experience or something about you makes it even more awesome and amazing so GO YOU YOUR AWESOME AMAZING AND THE BEST
What the heck I didnt even realize how long that was when I wrote it sorry if you just read that all while watching the video and missed like a chunk of it…
Yes I have it and it really annoys me when people use it as an insult to people to call them stupid with no understanding of what it actually is
I myself am on the spectrum. This video legit made me choke up. It’s never easy growing up with autism, but your brother is truly blessed to have a wonderful and understanding sister like you! 🥹
I'm on the autistic spectrum, though people don't usually notice. But the _moment_ I heard your brother is greeting everyone he meets I felt *_so called out_* because I once did the same thing when I was younger, and my neighbors still recognize me to this day XD
I'm really glad your brother has you as a big sister, and thank you for the video! :]
I used to do that so many times as an autistic child, my friend used find it so funny how I said hi to everyone. The only reason I stopped I think was because of the trauma of being bullied and picked on because of society.
*Sigma Rule #1: Say hi to a woman you think is pretty over and over until she says hi back, then leave*
On a real note, as someone who’s autistic myself, I really liked this video! And you’re right, friends, peers, and strangers alike shouldn’t feel bad for people who have autism like me, let alone look down on us. The old could sympathize about our autism, and the young could gossip and talk trash to us about it all they want. Just as long as you still feel happy and perfectly content with your life, then you shouldn’t listen to the people talking about you being on this spectrum with me, good intentions or not. So in conclusion…uh…happy early Autism Acceptance month?
Edit: Yeah, happy early Autism Acceptance Month!! Y’all rock!
Just shut up little bro 💀

My son Alexander has autism. I gave him that name because it felt powerful to me. He was definitely born different with clubbed feet *It's where his feet/legs are curved inwards.* It was so sweet when they imprinted his foot. The ink was still left on it and he printed his own chest. Watching him grow now to the young 10 year old man that he is was a journey with trials as well as high end moments of smiles and joy. He knows anything and everything about the Titanic. He can tell you all about it. He stimmed as well, waving his hands while running around. I allowed him to do so even out in public because it's the only way to get the GO juice out of him haha. I'm so glad that the Lord blessed me with him. I'm glad you love your brother with such a passion. Never give it up!
Alexander means "defender of men". It is a strong name 🙂

“even” in public ? but stimming is normal and there's nothing wrong with stimming outside as long as it doesn't hurt him or others.
@@2883j2_user Not every person has the same views on certain topics and some may consider "stimming" to be rude or out of the ordinary, which to an extent, it is.
not autistic but ı also have clubbed feet and inward curved legs those things are so annoying.
Omg this is so inspirational, As somebody with autism and ADHD this It's one of the most amazing videos I've ever watched and it's so informative, I hope you and your brother are well. Having autism sucks sometimes but I always look forward to what happens next even if people don't understand me I just move on and focus on the positive of autism granted there isn't that much of positives for me I can imagine there are others with positives more than me but I don't mind I love the way I am I wouldn't change it for the world
All I've learned is that autistic people have more social skills and fit more into society than anybody else on the Spectrum most of the time and from the autistic people I've seen they are some of the happiest nicest people ever it is both terrifying and amazing😂
As an autistic person this video means a lot! I had a lot of hardships growing up dealing with being autistic. And what made it worse is that I was never diagnosed as a kid. My mom always fully believed that I'm autistic but sadly doctors refused me a diagnosis because I "wasn't autistic enough" for a diagnosis so instead they misdiagnosed me with ADD and put me on meds that didn't help me and only made me worse. This was back in the mid 2000s so this treatment wasn't very shocking. It also doesn't help that I'm a girl and girls are less likely to be diagnosed with any neurodivergent disorder. I only just got recently diagnosed as an adult after YEARS of trying to find a psychiatrist that could diagnose adults and my own psychiatrist is surprised on why I wasn't diagnosed as a kid. Anyways, sorry for the long rant. Great video though!
Same here I was a kid when I was diagnosed (I am also a girl 👧 and have had many hateful comments thrown in my direction 😅 mostly because my education and how I can’t gain weight/bruise easily)
@@AnneKirk453I want a girlfriend and I have autism and I'm 16 but I can't get a girlfriend I want a girlfriend when I have a lot of money because that's easier because they love boys with money
@@NatetheNintendofan money is nice but not always the answer though…For me I want to become a medical auditor but I am starting with coding(bc I am 19 and graduate high school about almost 😅 a year ago). For me I want to travel 🧭 the world and meet people. I also want to get away from both sides of my family because they are mostly insane(Catholics on my dad side and mentally ill on my mom side….though I believe both sides are mentally unstable so does my younger sister and her boyfriend, along with my sworn sisters and sworn brothers- I am white if you ask)
@@AnneKirk453sorry about that myself one month ago was really needing a girl now I don't want anyone
@@NatetheNintendofan it’s okay I have learned to desensitize myself to a lot of things…One those things could be my family even though they do sometimes get on my nerves 😬…for example when asking me what gender/sex group I was in to. I began to panic 😱 because I don’t know 🤷♀️ who to date and you know what they didn’t take it well at all…Instead of being kind and supportive/trying to help me, they called me a fucking lesbian(I am a girl like I mention before)!
As a fellow autistic myself, I greatly appreciate how you speak about your brother with absolute love and appreciation for him just warms my heart to see that there are people like you that don’t see people with autism as “sick” or “weird”. Thank you
As another 10 percenter of humans on the spectrum, I appreciate the care you have for your brother, your parents too, they did great, I've also dealt with a lot and my parents had their moments of not knowing how to react or how to deal with neurotypical people, but as we learned more about the spectrum, the better it was to interact with others and explain why I was so different.
I also like food and computers! And math, and physics and science and history and any nerdy thing. I'm 25. My older brother is great! He was a mix of defend me from mean people, to frustration over my weird behaviours, to pranking me in ways I couldn't understand at the time and would cry sobbing over it, I laugh over those with him to this day, I guess I couldn't tell a joke/prank from actual bullying. I have a very supporting family and friends, and am glad I'm not the only person who does as well.
I'm high function autistic and I feel the struggles as well as ADHD, OCD, ANXIETY.
we are have are own struggles and personality but that's what makes us, us
We all deal this in life
Wish you and your brother and parents a wonderful life and moments😊😊😊😊
I’m autistic and thank you for being so supportive and understanding because some people in my life don’t get it or they just make fun of me or call me dramatic, so thank you so much Yoontunes
As a person with an autistic older sibling and an abusive one, I'm happy you and so many other people had kind non-violent siblings, my parents would always tell me to take care of and work on my brother cause of his autism, no matter how much bullying and psychological abuse, or how bad the molesting and controlling behaviour was. They would blame his autism and say I should just deal with him and he'll get better. It's good others have better relationships with their siblings
As an autistic person, I’m so sorry you had to deal with that, it was not your job to take the abuse on your own and to make you feel guilty about not knowing how to raise him, you guys needed specialized support that you sadly didn’t get, I hope you’ve been able to heal from that
😞😭😢😢If I were that sibling I would regret it absolutely a lot.
Dude, I’m also autistic that’s horrifying. You should not have gone through that!
Hi
I’m so sorry for you. I’m that sibling and I regret doing that to my sister a lot 😢
I am autistic, and I am so grateful that you made a video about your brother and your loved one and you love them as much as you do yourself and that is so sweet and makes me very happy that you also care about autistic people.❤❤
As an autistic persone, I thank you for talking about stuff like this. It warms my heart
The fact you said you wish to be able to talk to him instead of saying for him not to have had autism is so beautiful and heart-warming. Although I am not close with anyone who is autistic, my friend also has an autistic little brother. This makes me so happy and glad of how much you love your brother has received and a good life he is living ❤.
This was so nice to hear.
My older brother has autism too, I always try to protect him the best I can from this cruel world. He’s currently 20 right now and he likes watching stuff like Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, and a lot more. Sometimes he gets on my nerves but that’s ok. I still love him and I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to him. My mom has been through a lot raising both me and him ever since my dad passed. I used to be such an asshole to him, but it was because I was little and stupid and couldn’t understand what was “wrong” with him. I’m now 15 and also diagnosed with ADHD. I love my brother to death, I wouldn’t change a thing about him. I would love to see what goes on in his brain of his though. It’s hard to understand him sometimes. But still, I love my brother.
Dude, as someone who's autistic I wish I had a little brother like you. My little brother just says "ur fucking autistic" then we talk.
I'm sorry for your loss (your dad not your brother, please don't think I am one of those people as I also have "mild autism" though I know autistic people don't really like that saying)
I love how you care for him and this is so wholesome your the best older sister
As an autistic person, i can say that I like when people are talking about this topic so that other people understand us more 👍!
As an autistic I really love how you speak of the struggles we face on the daily.
This warmed my heart. I have Autism, and I can confirm I have ordinary bowel movements
Jokes aside, I'm so happy I managed to see this. Your brother seems like a nice guy, and your family seems very supportive. I'm glad my family is the same.
The person who made this comment should be blessed with lucky
He has Autism and loves Thomas?

I love how in the fumbnail she put “normal” because there is no such thing as normal in the real world or at least no one is normal they are always unique
I also have an autistic brother. He is older than me though. Similar to your brother, I can’t have a full conversation with him like I would with my other friends. However, we have our own ways of interacting and hanging out. Watching your video and reading all these comments about their own experiences makes me happy to hear similar journeys compared to my own life
I am 40. I have been struggling for decades, not knowing that I was neurodivergent. After a very rough year, I was officially diagnosed with ADHD in late October. My cousin, who is practically my half-sister, since our mom's are identical twins informed me that I was definitely autistic, as well. This led me to begin researching ASD and doing a heavy amount of self-reflection while talking to my close family about our experiences. It's been a very demoralizing and anguished path, as my parents and sibling were not quite ready for me to go into this, after they had already suffered through so much trauma with me from my unsupported neurodivergent needs.
At one point, I felt incredibly alone and lost. As though my mother was incapable of understanding my plight, my father had thoroughly given up on me, and my sister did not care about me.
But then, my sister finally came and visited us, and I got to talk to her, after months of trying to reach her. The love you and your younger brother have for each other brought my memories of my sister and finally making up recently, and her listening to me as I told her what I had realized about myself, as well as how I hoped to be better suited to help my nephew, her son, who is also on the spectrum.
I also have a Traumatic Brain Injury. I have healed as much as possible from the TBI, but the damage incurred from it that was unable to be healed will last for the rest of my life. It affects my memory, emotional response (already troublesome due to the interplay of ADHD and autism), and executive function. Because I am a low-support neurospicy person, it is easy for others to forget that I still have a TBI. My mother regularly forgets that I am easily able to forget details about life around me, especially when I am heavily focused on several important tasks that must be done. While I was trying to get her to understand why I felt that my dad was the source for my inheritance of autism, she kept making mention about how he had taken my accident and dealing with all of the messes around me as I slowly became lucid, while a lawsuit was under way on my behalf.
She kept acting like I should have known better, when I did not know anything about their struggles to the degree they experienced them while I was not lucid. Or they told me stuff, and it promptly was filed away and the networked information was not linked to a root item to make it easily accessible. But as she told me again what both she and my dad went through, a terrible sense of loss and anguish quickly overtook me. And I realized that despite the anger and frustration of my dad, he absolutely wanted me to be around, even if he was super frustrated and dealing with medical complications from military service.
Your wonderful video made me think of all of my close family relationships in an instant, and how my sister and my parents all love me, despite being a triple play of neurodiversity: TBI, ADHD, and ASG (lots of neurodivergents call my type: AuDHD). Your video is excellent.
Creep

@@daviddebroux4708 it’s bc theyre 40 🤦♀️ and they think they’re a creep bc they’re that age
@@Itz.foxplaz So adults aren't allowed to use the internet now?
@@Midnight-th1nn I’m 18 why would I think that. Can’t yall take a joke 💀
When your mom was sad and your brother told her "happy! Happy!" Made me cry 😭
My brother is also autistic and he doesn't know how to talk and do things right but I try my best to support him..!❤
As an elder sister who has a autistic brother but needs more special care, I sobbed seeing this video, about the feeling of not being put more attention it really hit hard and I'm happy to see there's a video to relate to. The toll it took on my mother, and me were immense. But we both know It'll be okay.
I was wondering if there were any other people who are facing the same issues as I am and I know that there are, but never post their story about it and made me hopeless, facing issues with my family and friends school and work. Dealing with hardships, But seeing this video brought me hope, and help me see at a different angle.
You're an Eldritch sister huh
This made me cry. I had a brother with an unknown illness, completely disabled since birth, but all the same things. He grew up with 3 big sisters (poor thing). We were protective of him, I remember yelling at someone who kept staring at him. Also got mad when people would just randomly take pictures of him to post online.
I was the only sister he never said the name of, and I never knew how he really felt about me. It’s been almost 2 years since he passed away.
I’m glad you have such a close relationship with your brother.
I am sorry for your loss, and may he Rest In Peace.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Aww my brother does this sometimes and its always so adorable!!!
Omg i really love this video because I have an autistic brother and I never seen a video relating so much and this just makes me happy that there’s people like you that are willing to share their experience because it could be hard sometimes and I know how it is ❤
Same, I’m hella overprotective of him I’d die for him if I had to without hesitation. I have it too and a lot of other stuff like severe medical issues but my autism isn’t near as bad as his so I can defend myself at least somewhat but he can’t so kids have and still do sometimes make fun of him at our school we both go to and I get them kids to shut up real fast.
I do too I hope some of the other people don’t bully me for saying that I have autism too, but I just appreciate you bringing it up and also the struggles that I have on a day-to-day basis
I would just like to say, thank you for not only talking about the issues that us autistics have, but also showing your brother smiling in the thumbnail. That art really brought a smile to my face
As someone who has an autistic younger brother, I relate to your story a lot. I don't think I can ever find the words to describe how much I love my brother. I'm pretty sure kids make fun of my brother so any time I would meet someone who was genuinely nice to him, I would have full respect for those people. My brother is the reason why I'm looking into an autism diagnosis for myself. I'm in marching band and concert band and my brother is also in band. He's going to be joining marching band next year and I'm so excited for him because he loves watching marching band performances and loves watching me perform. I love him so much and I don't know what I would do if I didn't have him. I'm so happy because of him.
Oh my god you are the same person as me (except my brother is older lmao)
My little sister has autism and I love her with all my heart, I get it sometimes I wish I could know if she knows exactly how much I love her because honestly I’d give the world for her, whenever she smiles it makes me happier then I can explain, I love her and I always will.
I recently discovered I’m autistic, and it explains so much of why I’ve felt othered throughout grade school. Also as an older sibling too, always gotta look out for the lil one cuz I MAY NOT BE THE PARENT BUT I MIGHT AS WELL BE
Been trying to be there for my sister but college and relearning everything about myself now that I know that it’s not “something is wrong with me” is a journey I’m still on
Many life things are a work in progress, so hoping everything will fall into place
As a person on the autism spectrum I’m really happy how you brought this to light. This was overall an extremely well made video and it nearly made me cry. It made me so happy to see people acknowledging these things.
AHHH THE BABY PICTURE AND YOUNGER PICTURES OF YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE SO ADORABLE!!!
YAAAA HE'S SO CUTE!!! Thank you~~~ 🥺💕
@@yoontoons Hi how are you.
i just love this. As an autistic person myself this is just so amazing to hear someone talking about this online where people can be so ruthless but you are just talking about your brother and that is amazing like I seriously love this video and this is just so amazing,
As someone with autism I absolutely love this video! Your brother seems like the coolest autistic guy ever!
As an autistic girl myself who struggles with self esteem and self advocacy its really nice to see you defending and supporting us, I love watching your videos and they mean the world to me, I really appreciate everything you do and I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to keep going and to not Gove up! Thanks!
P.S. your brother seems like a really kind and sweet person and I can honestly relate.
Food in exchange for dresses
I was diagnosed with being on spectrum when I was 2. I had communication problems and sometimes bit other kids. My parents were able to find therapy and teachers to help me communicate better and control myself. Glad to know your family loves your brother, you’re so sweet to him!
Sounds like skill issue
As you said, Autism is diferent for everybody. I myself strugge a lot with Autism, my hyperfixations getting bigger and thigs like that, but I appreciate you talking about poeple with autism
I’m happy I found this video and this channel! I am autistic and it’s never really see people talk about it much but when I do see it it makes me very happy to know it’s being shared. Thank you and I hope everyone reading this has a good day and if your autistic I hope your days go amazing as well! ^^
Have you been diagnosed by a psychologist?
@@YOUNES-cw8ns yes
My cousin is autistic. He’s about 20 years older than me, and when I was little I used to be kinda scared of him because he would make loud noises and couldn’t talk. Then one day me and another one of my cousins were running around and playing and he wanted to join in. He made the game so much more fun and it was only then that I understood that autistic people are just like you and me, just a little different, and we should never judge someone based off their special needs.❤
Not me having autism,ADHD,anxiety and dyslexia
I have ADHD and autism, and I’ve had people just assume I’m dumb or just can’t understand when what’s happening around me, so I’m glad you talked about these issues
Same here,
My teachers actually treat me like animal fecal matter because of my Autism and ADHD.
I'm autistic but I'm proud of it thank you for discussing this because I have only heard people that are autistic talk about it but it's nice to hear it from a neurotypical person's view and I am happy to hear that he is ok. My brother has autism as well and he is nonverbal but I wouldn't have him any other way.I also have ADHD so that's hard to deal with sometimes but seriously thank you for discussing this topic 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I love your username lol
@@challengemeneo thank you 💖
I also consider your username to be amazing too
@@aldwych285 thanks 💖💖💖
As an autistic person, I can absolutely relate to your brother especially about raging in video games, like "STUPID BOSS, DIE ALREADY YOU BIT-" I also struggle A LOT in life since I can be pretty childish for my age and have anger issues. I'm glad people speak about us more so we can be understood
as an autistic person, I'm glad you made a video about us. in a wholesome way, and stated how we all are different and dont act the same.
A friend of mine has high-functioning autism and he's really sweet he just is rlly sensetive, and has outbursts . None the less he is human.
