  • Hi Bethany,

    Welcome to the community.  It's good to see that you're taking such an interest and that you want to understand.  It shows how much you must care about him Slight smile

    How old is your brother?  Does he have any particular behaviours or issues that most affect him?

    Feel free to ask questions and join in.  There are resources on the site, too, that can help you.
