Oftentimes, having an autistic child in your home can lead to a variety of complications. And one of them is not giving your other children their necessary share of attention!<\/p>\n

An internet user asked<\/a>, “Am I a jerk for telling my mom that I don\u2019t care about my autistic brother?”. Read on to know what exactly happened.<\/p>\n

Backstory<\/h2>\n

The Original Poster’s (OP’s) (16F) parents didn\u2019t have much time for her after her brother (9M) was born and it got even worse after he was diagnosed with autism when he was 3.<\/p>\n

OP’s dad is rarely home and her mom is always busy with her brother so neither of them has time for OP.<\/p>\n

Meet ‘Rachel’, OP’s Best Friend<\/h2>\n

OP has known her best friend \u201cRachel\u201d since they were in kindergarten. Rachel\u2019s mom is the nicest person OP has ever met.<\/p>\n

Rachel and OP played soccer but OP’s mom was rarely able to take her to practices and games so Rachel\u2019s mom would always take OP.<\/p>\n

“I used to be in the school choir and my parents went to, like, one performance during the six years I did it. Rachel\u2019s mom was at every performance for me even though Rachel wasn\u2019t in choir.”, says OP.<\/p>\n

Those are just a few examples, but Rachel\u2019s mom has always been there for OP when her parents weren\u2019t available.<\/p>\n

OP’s mom never really cares what she’s doing unless she needs OP to watch her brother so she spends a lot of time at Rachel\u2019s house. Once OP spent a whole weekend there and OP’s mom didn\u2019t even call to ask where OP is.<\/p>\n

The Disney World Trip<\/h2>\n

Rachel\u2019s family goes on a lot of vacations and they often take OP. They\u2019re going to Disney World during Thanksgiving break and invited OP to come with them.<\/p>\n

OP asked her dad and he said she could go. They\u2019ve already planned and booked everything and OP was really excited.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been to Disneyland once with my family and it was horrible. My brother threw a huge tantrum on the first day because he wanted to go on the rides alone and sit between mom and dad so I had to stay in the hotel most of the time.”, says OP.<\/p>\n

What Happened When OP’s Brother Found Out?<\/h2>\n

OP’s brother found out that she’s going to Disney and he had a really big meltdown. He loves Disney and he was mad that OP was going without him.<\/p>\n

OP’s mom told her that she was planning to go to Washington to visit her grandparents. OP’s dad didn\u2019t say anything about it so OP is pretty sure her mom just made that up to stop OP from going and even if they are going, OP doesn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t want to go on a fourteen-hour car ride with my brother and I\u2019m pretty sure when we get there, they\u2019re either going to make me stay with him while they go out or take him out and leave me alone in the hotel (I also wouldn\u2019t be allowed to go out on my own).”, says OP.<\/p>\n

The Argument Ahead<\/h2>\n
\"mom

OP’s mom told her that she needs to think about her brother and that his feelings are more important because he\u2019s younger and autistic.<\/p>\n

OP told her that she honestly doesn\u2019t care about her brother\u2019s feelings and she wishes he was never born.<\/p>\n

He was there when OP said all this and he\u2019s been crying and screaming for the last three hours and it\u2019s giving OP a headache.<\/p>\n

The Final Chaos<\/h2>\n

“My mom has been trying to calm him down and my dad said that he\u2019ll still let me go because he understands I\u2019m frustrated (he also grew up with neuro-divergent siblings so he knows what it\u2019s like).<\/p>\n

My mom said that I\u2019m a rude, ungrateful brat and I need to be kinder to my brother. Am I a jerk?”, asks OP.<\/p>\n

Go Be With Your Real Family!<\/h2>\n

“Not the jerk. They’ve left you behind in hotels so they can enjoy vacations? They’ve gone days without even noticing you weren’t home? Go be with your real family OP, because they sure aren’t it.”<\/p>\n

You Deserve Your Fun Vacay<\/h2>\n

“Not the jerk. Who cares about a few unkind things you said when they took you to Disney and LEFT YOU IN THE HOTEL because your brother said so? That’s pretty wild, you deserve your fun Disney vacation too.<\/p>\n

Also, when you graduate from HS\/college\/whatever, invite Rachel’s parents. Her mom sounds like the best.”<\/p>\n

Giving Him 100% Of Their Time Is NOT DONE<\/h2>\n

“The reason I’m excusing the devastating comment in front of your brother is because your mom has already prioritized him.<\/p>\n

This really is awful that a special needs child has hogged all the time, leaving none for you.<\/p>\n

Luckily, you have your friend and father to make life easier.<\/p>\n

This situation really highlights the complexity of having an autistic child – sure the right thing to do is help them, but is it right to give them 100% of your time and attention?”<\/p>\n
