As far back as I can remember, I’ve always known that my brother was different. At first I thought this was a
31 thing. But when I got older I learned the truth. My brother had autism (孤独症) and Attention Deficit Disorder (儿童多动症) — serious
32 conditions. At 15, he
33 like a 7-year-old child. When he was little, I didn’t
34 it as much. But as he got older, it became more obvious. When something didn’t go his
35 , he got angry and it took hours to
36 him down. He would talk to himself and play with string. We could never
37 to give him his medicine, otherwise he’d go wild. I was always
38 when we took him anywhere, and I never wanted to bring any of my friends
39 with me.
When I was 10, I felt like I couldn’t
40 it any more. I’d shout at him for being different and would ask
41 he couldn’t be normal. Of course, he had no
42 what I was talking about. It became very hard,
43 when a friend of mine didn’t want to come over
44 her mom had said my brother was dangerous. Our fights
45 up until one day he came up to me. He gave me a big
46 , like he was saying, “I don’t know what I did
47 , but I hope you still love me.” At that moment I realized that I’d better learn to
48 him.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how
49 I really am. Having him as a brother has made me kinder and more patient. No matter how busy my
50 is, he’ll always listen to my problems. I worry about his future, but I know he’ll always be loved.
