I fell really sorry for my best friend, we tell each other everything. She has a brother with Aspergers and she told me that it’s h**l. Last year we had a prize giving for the kids who did well in school, and she got a lot of prizes. Afterwards her brother threw a huge fit and said that it wasn’t a great prize giving. The year before that he got so mad and started throwing chairs b/c he didn’t get a prize, these events I saw. She then went and hid her prizes and her mother only told said congratulations on your prizes in private when her brother wasn’t around.
Then the other day she passed her drivers license and her mother said congratulations but don’t go and brag in front of your brother, don’t mention anything to him. And she wasn’t allowed to celebrate. Her brother dropped out of school at 17 b/c he threw tantrums and fits. Now her brother only stays at something for a couple of months and then starts complaining and his mother lets him go. Also my friend went from a D to an A in her math and her mother just said it was good, she didn’t seem excited or anything.
I mean she is a sweet friend and most of these events I actually witnessed. And her mother is really a good mother; it’s just sometimes she does this. I mean what kind of effect does this have on someone? What kind of effect does it have on my friend?
Only mature answers please…
