Having lost our parents in 2017

I became the legal guardian of my little brother. His Autistic challenges in life teach me each day the value of patients and tolerance. Yesterday was his birthday. Told me his wish was to eat only pickles in celebration. Uncertain how he ate so...

You're an amazing brother and a parent too man.

@Beatbox34 Gracias amigo.

This happens more often than we realize. Parents die, and their children must raise their younger siblings. I am glad you are such a wonderful big brother.

@4meAndyou Enjoying his life with him has been a gift. The Accountant for me was an adaptation of the power of the human mind.

@CodyCode True...but a form of child abuse, also. The one thing I found realistic was the focus.

@4meAndyou I see your point. 🙂

Give him a high 5 from an SW stranger.

@iamonfire696 Time heals you. We are adapting a new life each day. 🙂

What happens when he's a man? Care for him forever? No judgment.

CodyCode · 36-40, M

@TeenAngel I'll care for him as long as he needs me.

@CodyCode I'm no expert. Can they live on their own?

CodyCode · 36-40, M

@TeenAngel My brother is quite smart. Has an unusual ability with numbers. But emotionally distant. Interactive process is a challenge. Cases of Level 1 autism vary as to the ability to live separately from care.

I am so sorry for your loss. You sound like a wonderful parent to your brother. My son is adhd with some spectrum disorders. He has made me such a better woman, person, mom, human being. You are both blessed to have one another. Btw, for my son, it's peanut butter 🙂. He can eat it everyday.

CodyCode · 36-40, M

@Summerbreeze45 Grateful. He understands the nature of our relationship. But it's his simple acceptance that has changed my life so I completely relate to the dynamic you share with your son. Blessed we share as well.

Haha... Can't explain the food obsessions but my brother has eaten his weight in pickles many times over. 🙂
