NAS37029

I’m 53,and I have been seriously assaulted by my Brother who has high functioning aspergers.He’s 42,6 ft 3 and 23 Stone.He lives with my Dad and other Brother who works.My Dad has come out of hospital and is very weak so needs some care which is being given by an agency but I have been going in everyday while my Brother is working.The Aspergers Brother was going out and I asked him to pick something up that my Dad needed,he went mad,swearing,shouting.He slammed the front door and left.He came back in a terrible angry mood and said they didn’t have what Dad needed and called me an f ing c**t over and over whilst shaking his fists at me.I asked him to move he wouldn’t but said “get out of this house you f ing c**t,you’re not welcome here”He grabbed my arms which were by my side marched me to the front door and slammed my head into the window of the door breaking my glasses and hurting my cheek,I ended up in a & e and have concussion.This isn’t the first time I’ve been assaulted by him it’s probably the 6th.My so called family refuse to get him help saying you know what he’s like.Not one of them is backing me up and as he’s high functioning he can make his own decisions.He refuses to access help so I’ve had no choice but to report him to the Police.Can anyone tell me if they’ve gone through this,am I doing the right thing?

thank you for reading

  • I think you're doing the right thing. He can't just be allowed to get away with this, autism or no, because it WILL escalate until he seriously hurts or kills someone, and that 'someone' could be you, your father, your other brother, a carer or just someone who looks at him sideways in the street. It feels like he's been excused his while life, because "that's what he's like", that no boundaries have even been put in place, so he thinks he can do whatever he feels like doing. That's not good whichever way you look at it. You do need to follow through with the police report, and charges, if offered. That behaviour is not OK. He needs help to understand and to learn to control his reactions, and he won't get that help without something happening to make him, or the rest of your family, think twice about the situation.
