-- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 9:49 pm on July 10, 2009 i have a little bro that is truly autistic, but on a milder note. he is what they call, and what's posted here a LOT, aspergers. Since i grew up with him, i had to deal with the embaressment of living with "that" family, the one with lightining always striking and a big fence with a mean dog, the bad reputation house. He was uncontrollable, he'd break into people's garages so he could play with their kids better toys, he was just an annoying turd as a kid. he refused eye contact, or would look the other way or right about yous so hes lookin at your eyebrow. He went through all sorts of training, social skills classes, getting into fights, teaching him to throw a football, al sorts. now, he is as close to acting his age as he ever would be. the only thing is he still obsesses on things, this time it's computers. he researches all sorts of programs and different ways to mod his computer, even using a regular fan to blow cool air in the desktop!! He's made fun of alot but i believe i've toughened him up, i just hope he learns how to make friends with other guys his age. he has aspergers. anyone still want to talk about it now? -- Posted by sub800 at 9:50 pm on July 10, 2009 i'm sure someone does and you need to understand this is the interwebz -- Posted by brittnutz at 9:50 pm on July 10, 2009 ok u abused him -- Posted by JuiceStand at 9:51 pm on July 10, 2009 good thing it didnt happen to me. asperger sounds like ass burger if you say it quick -- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 9:52 pm on July 10, 2009 Quote: from brittnutz at 9:50 pm on July 10, 2009 ok u abused him no we'd get into fights like normal brothers, which i should of stressed to, i tried to treat him normal because my parents don't. -- Posted by agerask at 9:56 pm on July 10, 2009 sounds like yours turned out a lot better than mine my older brother was diagnosed multiple times with multiple different problems including aspergers at one point. they've finally settled it at "on the autism spectrum." i know exactly what you mean about having to live at "that" house. my whole family is nuts and as my hometown is pretty small and tight-knit everyone knows. all i have to say is lucky you for having parents who let you beat the shit out of him once in a while. i swear to god my brother would have turned out better if my dad had taken a belt to him at least once. -- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 9:57 pm on July 10, 2009 Quote: from JuiceStand at 9:51 pm on July 10, 2009 good thing it didnt happen to me. asperger sounds like ass burger if you say it quick it was a joke in the family for EVVVVEEEERR. -- Posted by Leica at 12:58 pm on July 11, 2009 People with Aspeger's don't need "toughening up". -- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 11:07 pm on July 11, 2009 Quote: from Aum Shinrikyo at 12:58 pm on July 11, 2009 People with Aspeger's don't need "toughening up". explain that to my asshole dad, who thinks being an annoying asshole to my brother will help him.
