THIS might help you... I write a blog to help facilitate Neurotypical/autistic spectrum individual relations...

you can fine it HERE

#1: 14-year-olds are going to get on your nerves no matter what. I'm sorry to tell you that, but that's an unfortunate age where they're just realizing a lot of adult thoughts but they still have strong child-like emotions. They have to go through a few years where they figure out how to deal with all that. That's true for both autistic and neurotypical teenagers.

#2: Sometimes autistic siblings have trouble understanding each other/getting along because they are not autistic "in the same ways." Like how you say she's doing it wrong and isn't smart? I've heard my husband and his brother say things like that about each other for years- they're both autistic and both grew up to be strong, self-sufficient, great people (and much more alike than they realize). Their relationship improved greatly once my brother-in-law became an adult and was out of his teens. I'm sure the same will happen for you and your sister, although I know that doesn't help a lot since she's 14 and that's a long way off.

#3: I agree with what others have said, that it's always good to look back and see if something has changed that set her off. Since she's a girl it could have been getting her period or developing in some other way, like gaining weight or growing, getting acne, being stared at by boys, who knows. Or it could have been something that could happen to any of us, like her favorite show ending, or not having access to something else that's important to her, like a book series or type of food. If you don't feel like you could/want to ask her you could ask your parents.

You should keep in mind that she is probably more severely affected than you. You, who might be stronger, should be strong for her, too.

Be the big brother. Try to help her instead of being mad with her.

I understand what you're saying about the stink issue- teenaged girls can smell REALLY bad and somehow when they're related to you the smell can be SO much worse. Especially their feet.

Maybe you need to work on some kind of alternate way of communicating with her. Does she have a phone? Maybe she might be more receptive to you asking her things in a text message instead of spoken out loud.

Maybe with the feet and body odor issue...I'm thinking that IS related to her having hormonal changes and growing and not wanting to deal with it by bathing more, which is what she needs to do. Maybe you could get her a gift basket of different soaps that don't smell offensive to you. That might encourage her to take more time on herself? You could even maybe put some slippers in there that she might like instead of the stinky shoes?

And in general, it might be a good idea to get into the habit of putting the blame on yourself for things, even if it's not your fault. That is a good way to get people to do what you want. Here's an example:

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm really sick today and I'm very sensitive to smells. I know I haven't been too nice to you lately, but do you think you could put your shoes in your room for awhile? I would really appreciate it."

It doesn't matter whether or not you have actually been nice/not nice to her. Just saying it that way should make her more likely to do what you ask.

For one thing, coming on an autism forum and saying that you hate an autistic sibling isn't right. For another thing, have you ever asked her why she does the things that she does instead of getting angry at her. Your sister can probably sense that you don't like her and that probably causes her a lot of anxiety. I know, because I have a family member who caused me a great deal of anxiety this year by getting irritated at me instead of asking why I do the things that I do. Your sister might even be scared of you. I know I'm scared of my mum. If you ask her questions about why she does the things that she does instead of expecting her to be more like you, you could find out a lot of interesting things about her that you wouldn't learn, otherwise. I wish my mum would ask me why I do the things that I do. Don't you think it would be worth it, so that your sister could feel loved and wanted by you?
