Hey @Goldenrod_Ferret
I can see that you’re going through a challenging time at the moment and I’m sorry to hear that your brother is experiencing teasing at school. I think it’s really great that you’re reaching out for support and seeking new ways to connect with your brother. He is really lucky to have you!
As @Boxmore has mentioned, I think a great way to reconnect with your brother is to ask about his interests to get conversations flowing. Also finding a common interest or hobby you both share would be a great way to enjoy each other’s company. I find that being patient and direct in my wording while having conversations with neurodivergent people also really helps!
Caring for neurodivergent people can be stressful. It’s important to remember to look after your own wellbeing to ensure you’re not pouring from an empty cup! I find that practising self-care and leaning on my support system helps me to navigate challenging times. Is there anything you like to do to support yourself in these times?
