Hi @Goldenrod_Ferret , its great that your seeking advice to reconnect with your brother. I think you should find activities that he really likes and try and participate with him. I think this would be a really good way to get to know him better and do something he enjoys. When approaching this, have open communicaiton. Ask him how he is feeling, what his interests are, what he enjoys doing outside of school etc. Make sure ot listen actively to what he says so he knows you have a genuine interest in what he likes.
Sorry to hear about the teasing at school for your brother. Ways you can support him include listening to him talk about these experiences so he can know he has that support. Encourgae him to talk to teachers or the school well-being team so they can create a supportive and safe enviornment so he can enjoy school without fearing of being teased or bullied.
As you have mentioned earlier that he has ADHD, ASD and dyslexia, make sure you educate yourself so you can understand his conditions and find the best ways to respond to his needs.
Most importanlty, while you find ways to reconnect with your brother, don't hesitate to take care of yourself. At times it might get overwhelming, so ensure you take a break every now and then and reset.
Remeber, rebuilding a relaitonship takes time. So have patience and don't overwork. Your doing an amazing job already!
