My little brother is autistic, and i just wish i knew what he was thinking? i want to know if he dreams...and what he dreams about...but you try and ask him and he wont respond...or he'll get mad at me for asking questions. I would just like to hear someone who IS autistic explain to me what they feel, and why they do some things they do? thank you from the bottom of my heart

I have Asperger's, and being an Aspie, I have trouble with broad questions, especially ones about my feelings. That kind of sums it up right there- it's very difficult for those on the spectrum to describe his/her feelings. Half of the time I'm upset, I have no idea why I'm upset at all. It isn't until minutes to hours to even days after my tantrums that I realize why I reacted the way I did. I'm sure a big issue with your brother and his behavior is abrupt change/interruption from routine, and sensory issues. Those two are pretty much universal "autistic triggers," if you ask me. I don't know how to describe why these two make me upset. I guess the best way to explain it is that the sensory issues are just plain painful and disorientating and change doesn't allow you to do what YOU want. Hope this helped somewhat. Good luck, God bless, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask! :angel:
