I upset my Autistic brother now its my fault
So i go to a local mental health charity and attend an art class. I invited my brother to attend as i thought it would be good for him. My brother behaviour isnt great. He says offensive things that he knows are wrong. And i allways felt like i had to correct him as his support worker doesn't. I know many people with autism who despite there difficulties dont use there autism as an excuse to be rude like my brother dose. Today i was tired feeling crap but i pushed myself out of bed. At the group my brother and i had a disagreement about weather he was photo bomming or not(stupid i know) and he got pissed at me and i got pissed at him. He walked out so did i.
Mum rang to talk it out. I explained his behavoir and how i feel about correcting him all the time. Apparently his support worker foesnt feel like what he is saying is inappropriate and i am the only one who dosent like his behavoir and do i even understand Autism at all? (I have done several traning courses, have close friends with people with autism, and have worked with people with autism, and he is my brother.. i grew up with him)
I wonder do my feelings matter? Should people allow my brother to behave in a rude way and say offensive this because he has autism. When things happen like this i ofent wonder why i bother with everything.
I also am figuring out my gender identity and he says things regularly about identify as a toster. Wich i cant tell him why thats offensive as im figuring it out
