My brother has ADHD (mental disorder) but over all he's a normal person. The only thing different about him is that he is extremely rude and annoying sometimes. It’s not just to me; he cusses out my parents and is disrespectful. Every night he fights with all of us and it can really hurt. My parents are tired of it and have thought about sending him away. I don’t want for our family to be torn apart. He has also begun to constantly yell at me no matter what I do. If I walk down the hall way I'm yelled at, if I go to the bathroom I’m yelled at, if I even yawn he yells at me. I can’t take him yelling at me every second of the day and it’s gotten to the point where I no longer look up to him. I want nothing to do with him. I’ve actually gotten to the point where I hate him (I know it’s a strong word). Like today I had just gotten back form a doctors appointment and I was filling my mom in on what the doctor said and he started yelling at me. I'm sick and tired of him. I can usually stay calm but lately I've stooped down to his level and yelled back. It’s really hurting me the way he treats me and it leaves me with no patience. What should I do? I can’t take it anymore and I'm starting to crack.

you cant really do anything about that
yea u cant really do anything about it but does the doctor have any medication to calm him down?
yeah they do but it wears off
i meant is there any advice on how 4 me 2 not get as upset?
just remember his condition, its not his fault
yeah stop yelling
are they seriously sending him away?!?!
I highly doubt thats ADHD(finally, a medical problem!). ADHD stands for ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER. That sounds more like bipolar disorder. ADHD is more like not paying attention, or being really hyper.
that's sad. you know they have meidcation for adhd. my cousin has that, and also autism (not severe though) and he acts kind of like that. he's just really angry and bully-ish, but at other times he can be really fun and funny too. but yeah, medication could probably help.
I'm not sure if your brother really has ADHD, because that means that they have trouble paying attention, right? But, I can relate to you. My brother as autism, and even though it's a very mild case, he can still get very touchy and picky. Next time that he yells at you, just tell him that you love him or give him a hug. If he resists, just leave him alone for a few minutes. I know it's frustrating when he's "blowing up" every other second, but it's something that you just have to go through. If you are really upset, go to your bedroom and turn on some relaxing music, count to thirty slowly, breathe in and out, and either read a book or play on the computer, or whatever you do for fun. Remember, don't pick on him or get mad at him, because it's not his fault and it's very unhealthy to be mad all the time. I hope that helped.
o, he has adhd all right
im pretty sure his parents and sister would know
yeah i'm his sis i know what he has but he not only has adhd he also has mild autism. i try not to get mad at him and i usually dont yell but it gets so frustrating. u htink that people who have mental issues look funny, (their eyes droop, the slobber, they act like a 3 yr old) but with my brother he dousn't do any of htose and i tend to forget that its not his fault. also any1 who knows who i am please dont tell because this subject is really personal and i dont want evry1 knowing hwo i am.
well the fact that he has autism is worth mentioning. you could try talking to him very calmly about how his behavior makes you feel, but i doubt that would work. you could just try to avoid him or be extra quiet when he's in the room.
WEll my brother has a lot of the same problems, he does not have autism but he has severe adhd and is always yelling at my parents and cussing at them. He is younger than me so it really makes me mad at him when he does that stuff to them. He is soo disrespectful. He is on medication but i personally dont think it helps that much. He yells at me a lot ttoo. What you just have to remeber when your dealng with this is that there is sumone worse out there then your brother and you should never say you hate him because yuo could neer hate him.
Really though it is his fault. I think of my brother as he is in control of everything he does, its just harder for him to do the right thing and think of the consequences later. Adhd is no excuse for behaving the way he does. He has a choice.
Basically i would just try talking to him, if he cares about you which he might not show it but he does, i think he will listen to what you have to say. Although when i talk to my brother he interupts me when im trying. I think you shoudl just find peaceful things to do when you do get upset. Like reading or taking a bubble bath or sumthing
anonymous i feel the same way bcuz of my brother and we (being my family) has talked 2 him numerous times aout it. my brother has enough control ovr his actions 2 b nice sometimes when he feels like it but when he duzn't feel like it my life is miserable. he can control some of the things he duz but he just duzn't feel like it
am i the only one to realize beardy posted a serious comment
sign up your brother for an expiremental drug trial of the drug oxytocin, it helps autistic kids interact.
yeah, and autism and ADHD r 2 VERY different issues.
