I'm not a parent, but I'm the youngest child in the family (20). My mom (59) has scoliosis, has extreme back pain, arthritis, one working eye, upon other issues, including depression. My sister (25), has autism. She talks and makes noises constantly, repeating things she's heard over and over and over again. I'm not sure if echolalia is the right term for it, but it's close enough. This happens every day, all day. Even when she's eating and trying to fall asleep. I've put up with it for my 20 years of living with her. I'm more or less numb to it now, but sometimes one of her noises or sayings really gets to me. I used to be the one most upset by her, but now it seems that my mom can't take it anymore. The past few months, she has been increasingly more and more stressed, at her wits end at trying to ease my sister's constant rambling. She keeps saying that she can't take it anymore, and at one point, gestured a motion of strangulation towards her, while her back was turned. We've tried everything, but it seems like we're too far gone to control her. Ignoring her does nothing, she will keep doing whatever she's doing. Yelling at her does nothing either, she will think it's funny and laugh at you. Taking her belongings away from her makes it worse. My mom tried to take her iPad (the only thing she plays on all day) away, and she grabbed hold of my mom's arm very tightly. She hurt her. There's a huge bruise near her elbow now. I just don't know what to do anymore. Mom being stressed directly affects me, as she will usually be unable to control her anger and take it out on me by yelling. Mom says she can't help it, sister can't help being autistic, and I can't help being so f'ing done with the situation. I'm so tired. I just want peace. We don't have a car, we live in an apartment, there's no other options. We can't do anything. Every solution that we've come up with ends up with us being too poor to go through with it. I feel like someone is going to snap one of these days. It could be any of us. Please, God, help me." 15:05 Best Book Winners in the 2021 Autism Live Gift & Toy Guide! 15:51 Best Book Winner Review Baby/Toddler: Where’s the Bear?
