Ok, Here' my situation that is still continuing:
I have two autistic brothers. One is now 18, the other is 14. for those who don't know what Autism is, it is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. For example, children and adults have a hard time understanding jokes and sarcasm, or they have a certain schedule that they "have to follow", and being or getting obsessed with a certain object or topic.
Recently, my older brother has been getting aggressive, and progressing every year. But today, it showed how aggressive and violent he has become.
(I wasn't involved in this particular situation, by the way. I know about this because my mother received a call from their social aid and I was next to her at the time.)
My brothers wanted to go to Disneyland and we decided to have them take their social aid (I just call him that). The day was going just fine until, according to the social aid, my brother was.. ahem.. checking out some girls.
The social aid noticed and basically tried to distract him from the girls, which didn't work for a while, but eventually did. When they were getting ready to leave the park, the social aid put on the child lock in the car because my brother has threatened to throw himself out from the car on a speeding highway several times in the past. Again, he calmed down really quickly, and everything was hunky-dory.
Suddenly, while driving, my brother grabbed his wooden pencil (he loves to draw anywhere and everywhere) and stabbed his social worker in the back, breaking off the point and leaving it in him. there was a lot of yelling, cursing from my brother.. he was throwing a temper tantrum. He was able to calm down..
quite literally, a few minutes ago, he was beating the s**t out of his room wall, cursing or pretty much screaming on the top of his lungs, " ******** YOU!!!! I HATE YOU!!!!"
The reason why I need help is because for the first time in my life, I have never been so frightened. In the past, he has also hurt intimate family members (like me and my little brother, my dad) and other people as well such as teachers and school aids. If he's able to stab someone with a ******** pencil, then he can really hurt anyone. What I want to know if there's anything that my family can do for him.. I just don't want to live like this anymore.
(sorry if it's really, really long.)
