Why are older siblings so rude and mean to younger siblings?

My adult siblings are always hard on me. They get on me for not listening to dad, call me out for being a brat and called me out for me using my disability as an excuse and I’m tired of them pointing out about me.
Like say if I’m rude to them, they’re rude back. One time my sister treats me so meanly. I was being a rude brat and she treated me the same way. I cried to her to stop. Then she sternly said, “Are you going to start being respectful then?!”
I said yes and I hate that she’s mean.
She told me, “Well stop being mean to people then. I was mean to you because I wanted you to see how it felt to be treated that way. Respect your elders.” And she shoved me. Meanie!!
I told my bro and he said, “Well treat others the way YOU wanna be treated then. If you’re going to be ugly, then people will react to you the same way.”
I’m very polite now but do push people buttons people get annoyed with me when I tell them to be nice all the time.

They just want you to be a responsible adult. They should never used your disability against you! That's totally uncalled for.

@DaveStevenson They didn’t use my disability against me. My sister didn’t have to act so mean to me. Are older siblings supposed to be mean to teach a lesson. I hate my older siblings for being mean to me. 😭😭😭😭
@AutismGirl18 Sometimes a little tough love is all it takes.

@DaveStevenson Tough love? I call it mean love. I don’t know my sister had to treat me mean to teach me a lesson. My bro too. They think they’re adults and they’re better than me. My bro said, “Sometimes we have to yell because you don’t listen and we have to tell you directly. Stop being so ugly and frankly you’re making it impossible for people to be around you.” I was 9-10 when he said that in my face. He really knew how to make me feel bad.
@AutismGirl18 Sorry you went through that.
