When Friends Come Over

When my friends come over my brothers get really excited and all crazy. Some of my friends understand what autism is because they come over a lot and have been around Ewan. When my friends come over Ewan and Vaughn get in their faces and some of my friends don’t really get Ewan. Ewan likes to ask a question over and over and they don’t really understand why. I have a friend and she comes over a lot so she kind of understands what autism is and why he does these things, like repeating things and he’s right in your face some of the time and speaking loudly. My friends ask what age he is and they think he is 6 or 7 and I tell them he is only 4 and they are amazed because he is so big.

Some of my friends don’t come over a lot so when they do we’re usually in my room or outside. When my friends come over and we want to play outside without my brother we have to tell him that we are running errands. And when it comes to my birthday we take my brothers to my aunt’s house. When my friends and I are in my room my brothers really want to come in and get mad when I won’t let them. Ewan gets really mad. Sometimes we are just watching TV but my brothers want to watch too. My brothers really like to wrestle and sometimes my friends and I don’t like to wrestle all the time. My friends and I also like to play video games and Ewan always wants to play with us. Sometimes he’s pretty good at them like nintendogs but he uses all my money on shampoo to wash the dogs.
