I do. He's pretty much ruined any chance at a social life for me. He started going to the same school as me recently and my life has been hell ever since. He's loud, annoying, and incredibly vain. He takes terrible care of his body and mind. I can't understand how anyone could possibly think like he does, because nothing he does makes any sense. I'm starting to think he may be on drugs. When he doesn't get his way he throws tantrums like a 3-year old or something. People refer to me as "that dumbass kid's brother" now. I'm so embarassed all the time.

He's also ruined my musical career, because his concept of music is terrible and he lets everyone know it. He considers himself a musician, and yet he plays no instruments at all. He basically just makes noises with his mouth and adds static to it and puts it on a CD, then distributes copies of this CD to random people all over school. How can anyone take me seriously as a musician when my joke of a brother does stupid sh*t like that all the time? If I tried to start a band, nobody would even consider joining once they found out what my last name was.

I'm afraid to start dating because if I did the girl would eventually want to meet my family and that would mean they'd meet him. My whole life pretty much revolves around trying to prove to everyone that I'm absolutely nothing like that piece of human garbage. I can't take it anymore. This constant embarassment combined with Aspergers has made my school life miserable. I don't know what to do.

Don't try to prove that you aren't your brother. Prove that you have worth of your own WRT your brother.

dude, he sounds terrible. I am really sorry you have to deal with him. I used to have problems with my brother, but he turned out alright. Is your brother older or younger and are you in high school or college? I think as long as you act mature and have your own group of friends, people might be able to see you as yourself and instead of thinking "thats that dumbasses brother", they might think of your brother, "I'm surprised that that dumbasses brother is so mature"

Everyone has their own issues, and maybe your brother has some of his own and behaving the way he is is his way of coping or something. It is too easy to judge without considering why someone might be behaving in a way that is unacceptable to you... I mean, let's face it, an NT with an aspie sister or brother who throws terrible tantrums when young might think them to be bad and a pain in the backside etc etc, yet it is their aspieness and sensory issues maybe causing the tantrum...we only see what we see, we cannot know what else is going on besides that. Just my input.

It seems so, but I know what he means.

It may be an oxymoron, but it's true. He never shaves, he's overweight, and his teeth are all crooked, but he thinks he's like Brad Pitt or something. He refuses to see the fact that he's in no way attractive.

Sounds like a real twit. Does he ever attack or harm you physically? I could never stand living with someone like that.

Yeh, he's your brother. You're not supposed to like him.
Sorry if this isn't really helpful, you confused me.
