My brother is autistic and envies me?

[Anonymous]

My brother is a high functioning autistic and envies my life. He says it was easy for me to get a good job (i'm a pharmacist), make friends and get into relationships. He is jealous of my salary and thinks I make friends and get into relationships too easily. He has been through and is still going through a lot but I don't know how to help him and my life is busy enough as it is. He just seems to be getting more and more resentful as time goes on, and I feel like i'm walking on eggshells around him and sometimes I don't think he's happy for me.

At the core of it all, Autistic folk (myself included) are singular and straightforward. It is the independent, non-social ancestral form of humanity. Case for case, a lot of Autistic folk can outperform regular humans in straightforward logical matters...
BUT we live in an environment we are NOT well suited to. i. e. That of regular, mentally inept, pathologically deceitful, emotionally uncontrolled normal humans. Normal humans that are frankly just collectively retarded... BUT they make the rules because there are more of them. In fact they hinge just about all their judgements on sheer numbers... and look down on us because there are more of them and fewer of us, as though that makes any difference whatsoever.

Basically... to live as an Autistic person in the modern world is to spend one's entire existence being treated as a second-class citizen by mental inferiors... with no hope of even being able to live a tolerable, average-grade life, as absolutely EVERYTHING requires being batshit insane as a prerequisite. It is like waking up to spend the rest of your life in the zoo and being mocked because you don't shit yourself.

Believe me I know what it's like to have a sibling you want to communicate with, but you just have no idea how to go about it. My brother and I haven't seen eye to eye for many years now. No matter how I try to talk to him, he just seems to hate look down on me and resent me. My brother has a stable job, is moving out and getting married soon, and honestly I'm just happy for him and want the best for him in his life. As positive as I want to be, the truth is sometimes the relationship isn't salvageable. It doesn't matter what your intentions are. I think the only thing you and I can do at this point is just to tell our siblings we love them and we're here for them whenever they want to reach out. But all we can do is focus on our lives. I hope things work out for you though! Don't let it stress you. The fact that you're thinking about how to go about it at all shows you're a kind person that just wants the best for your brother.
