This was very sweet. I don't know why, but this reminded me alot of me and my little brother. Did you have to talk him into being in this video, or was he eager to do it?

[armankhodaei]

@tyroblogger He was okay with doing it. My other brother refuses to go on though. I've asked him a few times, but last time he said 'no.' Though that was almost a year ago. Perhaps, he's changed his mind.

My older brother has Autisum and my little sister has it and my little brother.

They have taught me loads through-out the years due to them having autisum, My older brother actually makes me proud tbh (:

He use to be really depressed and didnt have a social life(stayed in 24/7) nd use to hit my mum, but now he's a total different persons, hes almost 20 (: He's got a girlfriend, his own flat, a kitten, he still stugles but his girlfriend helps him out, wouldn't go anywhere without her!!

Wow! That's really impressive. I still live with my parents. So, I think that is an amazing achievement. Thanks for sharing.

No problem, you're a real inspiration tbh (:

I might tell my sister to check some of your video's out...

[armankhodaei]

Thanks. I hope that your sister enjoys my videos. I appreciate it.

We do some things together, but I often do things alone. I still prefer to eat alone, but oftentimes I find myself eating with my family, simply because they want me to. As well, I rarely go out, and when I do, I'm often by myself.
