    Hi, new member, NT, joined because I’m having problems with one of my brothers with ASD Level 1 (aka Asperger’s).

    That’s a real possibility. When Dan was given his (late) diagnosis, he had been fired multiple times by large corporations. He was told that he should NEVER again take a position that required supervision of people. Dan then switched careers to higher-ed teaching, but that’s not going well...

    Hi Ronald Thank you so much for your reply. My sincere sympathy for the passing of your parents and one of your brothers. Also, I’m sad for your brother who was very close to the brother that passed. Several people have mentioned that their sibling on the spectrum became more reclusive after...

    Hi, new member, NT, joined because I’m having problems with one of my brothers with ASD Level 1 (aka Asperger’s).

    Thank you so much, Rodafina. Your last paragraph buoyed my spirits and FWIW, I talked to my psychiatrist (I have MDD) just yesterday and she suggested the same things you did! This estrangement is breaking my heart — Dan has always been my favorite brother and I don’t know why he cut off all...

    Hi, new member, NT, joined because I’m having problems with one of my brothers with ASD Level 1 (aka Asperger’s).

    Good advice! My brother with ASD (let’s call him Dan) only speaks to one sibling (let’s call him Mark). Through Mark I know that Dan is struggling, depressed, shut down, lonely, etc. I used to be Dan’s go-to sibling but for 2+ years he won’t or can’t answer any of my communications (cards...

    Hi, new member, NT, joined because I’m having problems with one of my brothers with ASD Level 1 (aka Asperger’s).

    Thanks for the immediate welcome! I feel better already. Q: Where can I find info about family estrangement? I’m NT, the only and oldest sister of three brothers — we are all now in our 60s and live pretty far from each other. One brother (diagnosed with Asperger’s in his 40s) cut off...

    Hi, new member, NT, joined because I’m having problems with one of my brothers with ASD Level 1 (aka Asperger’s).

    Hi, I’m the oldest and only sister with three brothers, one of whom was diagnosed with Asperger’s in his 40s. Awesome parents, now deceased.
