The saddest part of the last two stories is that the spoiled child is eventually going to be released into the real world as a spoiled man; the moment he's told he can't have or do something, I'm willing to bet he'll rampage and end up in jail for either property damage or assault (or both). Then, when he calls mommy and daddy to fix his mess, you know they'll be glad to be rid of him and hang up after tell him he's the jail's problem now. Those parents really set their youngest up for failure by not teaching him respect and empathy.
@@puppetmasterey I'd frown at kids displaying this problematical behaviour, and adults would constantly snark at me. "Let kids be kids! He's not doing any harm! Just high spirits!" Uh huh. Your dad is a very wise man.
The mulberry story was hilarious, and I agree the perfect revenge would be to tell her that thanks to her you were saved tons of money on not making mulberry wine anymore.
It just boggles my mind how a parent can just walk up to the birthday host of a party they have been invited to & ask if their child can blow out the birthday boys candles, so her child can feel included and not be embarrassed while doing it. Thats beyond entitled. Its just plain selfish & rude. The lack of parenting is most likely going to bit them hard when he is to old to control.
Entitled-ness can stem from leftover Golden Child spoiling of the parents who never grew up out of the mindset, or they're actually fully-actualized sufferers of a Cluster B Personality Disorder, which is characterized by, among other things, a reduced ability to feel empathy.
Part of me wonders if they proceed to act like psychos BECAUSE they're embarrassed after being refused or otherwise called out, and just can't handle it so they think they can, for lack of a better term, "brute force" their way out of being wrong, and somehow convince everyone around them and themselves that they're actually right if they just act upset enough and never concede.
The purse-Karen. Definitely should have had the police make an arrest. She not only stole the purse, she stole Rx medication. That has serious charges in some places. The birthday kid. I've got two autistic kids, and it's tough often, especially when they were younger. But they still learned there are clear lines of behavior.
Yeah, I have autism, too. Not diagnosed until later in life, but my son was before he hit school. He is treated better than I was, but you're just a smart problem child without one. We still teach our son not to be entitled and share, and this kid would give you the shirt off his back if he thought it could help. It's all in how you raise the kid.
Too many parents basically wrap their autistic children with emotional bubble wrap. That and they can’t differentiate a autistic meltdown from a temper tantrum. That leads to a child that cries to get whatever they want. They’re autistic, not two. They can handle not blowing out the birthday candles
As a person on the spectrum I hate it when people use Autism as an excuse in any way! It's NOT an excuse to be a sh*tty person! You need discipline as any other child and maybe even more at some points during growing up so you understand the world you have to adapt to and live in!
It’s an explanation for behaviour, not an excuse. If you act like a dick because you got overwhelmed you apologise once you realise you’re acting like a dick. You’re autistic, not two years old
*Third and Fourth Stories:* As someone with HFA, OP's brother's behavior is not standard behavior for someone with it. That's just plain entitlement from a spoiled brat. His parents are some of the worst I've heard about in these stories, just above those who abandon their kids. I'm glad they got humiliated for their behavior; that's the only way narcissists like them learn.
As someone with Aspergers/high functioning autism, I cosign this. Because the kid is HFA, he can definitely be talked to and learn and understand. By 6-7, it's would take a lot of work on the parents part to turn it around. Children learn from what they see, what they're taught, and what is allowed. If you don't teach them right (corporal punishment isn't necessary except maybe in very extreme circumstances when the kid is in teen years i.e. psychopath behavior/actions) nor show via example how they should act when they're young, it'll be an long uphill battle (hence, why some claim physical punishment is necessary. It's seen as the quickest way once the damage has been done by the parents). It's unfortunate how these parents failed their son. However, once you're an adult it's your responsibility to do the work. You don't have to do it alone. You can get help and/or join support groups and share advice even if it's just online. The age of information opens a lot of possibilities. Not all problems can be solved via work on the self, but this behavior definitely can.
@@hellefur7861I think I agree. I might not have been clear or misword it. I typed the comment in the middle of something lol. But in this situation, it's too late for OP's brother especially because he is so close to being old enough to be charged as an adult. Unless he has some kind of sudden epiphany or life changing experience (since the parents can't afford military school), it's too late for him to get out of this unscathed. People can change, but I think he's gonna have to go through a lot of tribulations and real world consequences before then. Thanks for the clarification
Who do you blame When your kid is a brat? Pampered and spoiled Like a Siamese Cat? Blaming the kids Is a lie and a shame. We know exactly Who’s to blame. The mother and the father.
If I was the aunt I'd be calling CPS and telling them that the family needs to be trained in handling autistic children. I have Asperger's and my little brother has a higher form of autism but at least he's not that selfish and is understanding than this kid.
I've got Asperger's, and ADHD, I can be a bit of an asshole, and I'm very short tempered, but I don't use that as an excuse for anything, nor do I feel like the world owes me
@@richewilson6394 fuck, I was put on ritalin as a preschool age child, and according to my mom, I was a goddamn menace, so I was put on concerta instead
@@brendanboomhour7606 I was seven and wasn't a bad kid at all I was actually probably the best kid out of the entire class. Quiet, shy but other than that not a bad kid.
I have Asperger’s myself and I wasn’t diagnosed until 13. And despite being the “quiet weirdo”, I still never acted like the kids in stories 3 and 4. My parents told me that regardless of whatever I had, they expected me to behave like everyone else was expected to or get a tanned hide(I was born in the 90s when spanking was still legal)
Story 2: "Looked too poor" is a clear cut case of classism. Karen thinks that an item can't belong to someone because they don't look like they have the money to buy it. I would definitely have loved to hear her reaction if OP told her that OP's husband was an Ivy professor.
I mean, there are people that buy Gucci bags but end up penniless from their financial decisions. You can be a ‘broke college student’ and have a fancy designers bag
@@Stonedsheepu8906 I know of people who put all their money into a big fancy house but then end up using second hand/hand me down furniture, curbside finds and lawn furniture in their house.
Stories 3 and 4 bring back another story very similar... OP's sister, who was born as the result of a very risky pregnancy that almost killed her and the mother, was spoiled rotten. They let the sister basically steal all of OP's birthdays since she was 2, blow the candles, have a cake meant for her, have more presents than OP and always celebrate in a place the sister liked. OP was forced to endure the favoritism, being gaslit and punished every time he complained. Everything came to a head at OP's 18th birthday, when the family celebrated it at a place the sister wanted, brought a girl's cake and had the sister blow out the candles. OP broke down crying, loudly, and that was when the rest of the family (not the mother or the father) realized how much they had wronged him, and essentially forced the mother and father to make things right. The entire family gave OP a surprise party at a later date, and even bought him a car... which the sister vandalized with a hammer because she couldn't have her own, and even bit her parents when they tried to stop her. She was 8yo at the time. OP eventually moved out and went very little contact with his parents, while the sister was sent to boarding school, which she hated and kept screaming at the parents over it. In the end, they lost both of their children and most likely damaged their daughter beyond repair.
There was a recent update for anyone reading; the sister was eventually committed to an institution because she threatened herself and bullied other students. Her demand? Candy. Mother was discovered to have been smuggling junk food to the sister while she was in the institution. Yes she was diagnosed with something pretty extreme.
Story 3 and 4: Autism is not an excuse to be entitled to everything and parents need to understand that autism will not protect said child once they hit their teen age when reality puts it's foot down and spank the kid entitlement out of them in jail.
Agreed, i was born with autism and even I wasn't like this kid, that's a difference between when i was born in the 90's and now. When i was a kid, even with autism, my parents were understanding yet firm. I wasn't diagnosed with autism until i was 8, but my parents had a gandle on it long before then. Sure, special needs kids need a bit more attention, but there is a difference beween that and what these parents did with their autistic son.
I am a high functioning autistic man and I do not act like this kid. Now I did tell my coworkers that I have autism and what to look out for but it was never entitled acts. More like loud sirens or really loud music sets me off and my manager even told me put my ear buds in and put my headset over them, but that was it.
Amen. I have high functioning autism and I never thought of it as an excuse for my behavior. Nor did my parents enable me or coddle me. They expected me to act appropriately at all times
Yeah in later posts the OP and the rest of the family had an intervention about the brats behavior which led to I think selling all of the brats possessions like electronic devices with the exception of a laptop the brat can only use for school. Plus, it was at that point the parents realized their mistake.
I like the aunt of the guy from story 3 & 4. If the parents actually cared about their first kid they wouldn’t need to be shamed into doing the right thing.
Story 4: The key term here is "High Functioning." If he does well enough to have that qualifier attached to the diagnosis, there's no excuse for any of this. And the ending of the story, well.... Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
I agree. My daughter is 5 and recently diagnosed with autism and ADHD. She has her moments here and there, bit we nip that in the bid immediately. And she most certainly does NOT act like those entitled brats!!
Story 3: I have high functioning autism myself and if I had acted like OP’s brother at someone else’s birthday party, my parents would have tanned my hide to the point where I wouldn’t be sitting down for a year. I hate it when people use any form of autism or disability as an excuse for entitlement or selfish behavior Story 4 only helps provide more evidence as to why this sort of thing makes my blood boil
Yep, the kid is going to end up as a criminal when he becomes an adult. Because his parents never disciplined him properly as a child. I bet by the time he is in his 20s he’ll end up in jail, for something ridiculous. Stealing someone else’s car because he wanted it.
The only thing worse than dealing with a Karen is having an EP yourself, I hope OP is low contact with him and being on the spectrum myself I cannot condone the brother's actions, even I think that's messed up, and I feel for that birthday boy on a spiritual level
@@JadenYukifan28 indeed, honestly I am surprised the aunt didn’t call CPS on the parents because allowing that behaviour is clearly child abuse and neglect.
@@HarryFrost-qu8th Exactly, they should have been arrested for that. What they did was wrong and have to live with the fact that they created a monster.
Story 3: Damn I get that some parents are crazy obsessed with making sure their "precious children" get what they want when they want it... But this just takes the cake!
Oh there's a whole saga about this and it gets worse every story. Look up the user (it's in the description) and you'll see what I mean. I remember reading this and I'm to this day still baffled and disgusted.
@@StealthTheFoxz yeah,i heard the story about the brother destroying stuff because he didn't have his way. Well it's the parents fault i guess for not parenting the brother.
Story 3 - the worst thing about it is this behavior isn't going to stop as the boy turns into an adult. He's going to really hurt somebody, or multiple somebodies, and it's going to be ugly.
My son is autistic and I can not imagine allowing him to do this. Our whole job as parents is to raise our children to function without us. ANC yes, some with autism can do this. All these parents did was teach their child he should get his way no matter what. If they keep this up, he is going to end up in jail
RE the vintage bag story. This happened to a couple I know. They were both retired military (majors). She AF pilot & he was a Marine. They had decided to go to a thrift store to look for flannel shirts, sweaters & hoodies to face the coming winter. Arriving they split up. She picked some likely items & then went to try these thing on looking in a mirror. First, she had to take off her leather A-2 flight jacket. She placed it across the rack behind her. She began trying items on & a few minutes later she saw her jacket was missing. She looked about even checking the floor. She then saw a teen age girl had walked to checkout trying to purchase the A-2. My friend dashed to the front to stop the sale. The teen Karen refused to return the leather jacket. She found so it was hers. By this point Mom Karen arrived. She insisted that the sale should proceed. My friend truly loved this coat. She had worn it on many missions & there was an emotional tie. Marine husband wandered over but his wife waved him off. Mom Karen then called the police. They waited until the patrol woman arrived. Mom & Karen gave a heavily embellished retelling of events. Mother even claimed that women were banned by law from flying AF combat missions. The officer then asked my friend her side of the story. The pilot pointed out her embroidered name upon the front chest. She then asked the officer to go to an inner pocket to pull out her smart phone. After being given the phone she opened the Photo section. There were many photos of her on active duty in both Iraq & Afghanistan. In several pictures she was wearing her A-2 jacket. The police woman then handed the jacket back to the my friend. Both Big & teen Karens yelled & demanded a Police supervisor be sent to the store. The officer said they were free to go to the police station to complain. My friends returned to shopping. A few days later they called the police station to praise the officers conduct. The Police Sgt. thanked them for the call. The Karen’s did come in to complain. The photographic proof ended their whining.
As someone who has Autism, I can honestly say that while I wasn't a saint, there's some things you just don't do. I mean, ruining other folks' birthdays.... that's just mean.
Story 3+4: I have mild Aspergers, and my parents didn't coddle me. Heck, I was pretty respectful during other people's birthday parties I attended during my elementary school days. I never demanded to go first in games, I never snooped around other presents, and I definitely never clotheslined cakes like it was a wrestling match. I feel bad for OP to live with a toxic family. Heck, even OP wasn't spared from such a coddled kid, with the family deciding that OP shouldn't have B-Day parties because the brother wasn't the center of attention. With how spoiled and enabled the autistic brother is for just having autism, to the point of getting violent for not getting what he wanted, it'll carry into adulthood, and he'll eventually get sued or arrested or even killed at the worst. And who will the parents blame? The solution? Stop coddling the brother. They need to *TRY* to teach him what is right or wrong, tell him no, and set him straight the best they can. If they aren't doing that, then they won't have a son for a long time. Edit: Well, they're definitely trying, but it's a case of a little too late. I think that military camp is a good idea
I have an autistic son. He has never been given special treatment over my daughter. My son is a very happy well adjusted 17 year old who loves going for walks with his old time music playing while chatting to the locals in our town. Everyone knows and loves him. He's one of the kindest people I know. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for your kids is to say "No"!
Story 3: OP's parents are unfit. CPS should be involved, because they are clearly negecting the parenting; they treat their youngest as though he were the Son of God. The child needs proper parenting and learning, and the parents need proper training first to be real parents, and second how to PROPERLY raise and manage an autistic child. Not proper parenting is child abuse and neglect. Edit: OP's parents realized where they went wrong, too little, too late.
For that first tree story, you should have reported her for taking the tree down without a permit. Depending on the jurisdiction, she could get a big fine and have to pay to have the tree restored. Just consider it revenge of Tree Law!
As a 35-year old man with HFA, the parents were TERRIBLE in their parenting, and their son's behavior is all due to their enabling. My mom and dad were quick to teach me that another kid's birthday party is their own, not mine, and their presents, if they allow me, are to just share with me, not mine to own. Plus, if I ever asked for anything, my mom would always say, "Maybe for your birthday/Christmas" and my dad would say, "Do you have the money for it? I'm not just buying you something." I still have some episodes of where something goes wrong, I get very frustrated, but my girlfriend helps to calm me down and keep me grounded and help me regain focus. I don't feel any sympathy for the parents, though. They allowed this, and without the crutch of the older child to lean on, they are now feeling the wrath of their own inactions. At this point, I'm not sure military school would be a good option either. To go from freely doing what he wants to a super-strict environment, without conditioning, is going to just make him that much more rebellious and violent. He definitely needs proper counseling as a start.
I always hate customers who don’t take no for an answer about trying to take/buy personal items from workers. A coworker had a ziplock bag of bannock (fried bread) hidden in the back of a sandwich cooler since we didn’t have a staff fridge so we all stuck our lunches back there. Someone dug it out and wanted to know the price and when I told him it wasn’t for sale he tried to pressure me into giving it to him, then to give him some of it. And I’m just like, dude, it isn’t mine I can’t give you my coworker’s lunch.
Story 3: IIRC, OP is no contact with the family now after posting about a birthday celebration with his friends and them going nuclear over it and saying he wasn't allowed. As an adult.
Story 3 and 4: I heard about these two stories. The parents really failed to raise the child. I hope that OP would keep the distance between OP's parents and the brother.
Story 1: My neighbor HATED, just HATED a couple of trees planted and growing near our shared fence. It was his chain-link fence, which was toppling over (he'd hit it with his car when coming home DUI), and I offered to go half in rebuilding/repairing it. He came back with thousands $$ brick replacement design and I refused. He went bonkers, and let the old fence further collapse over time. When I built a new garage, a trencher routed a new underground electric service to the garage that required removal of the trees. Neighbor spent much of the day gloating in the driveway, ragging on me about the trees. The tree cutter said casually that there would have no shade to protect his car from the sun. He spent the rest of the day cursing us, the trees, my new garage, nature. He called City inspectors who reviewed my building permit, who "recommended with citation" that neighbor repair his fence. KARMA is a b!tch.
As a mom of 4, two with autism, it's even worse to spoil them, because it is harder to correct their behaviour in the first place. They need firm guidance and rules to develop in adults that can function in society.
My sympathy on story 1. We have a neighbor across the street with a very huge, unkempt mulberry tree & we get all the droppings thanks to the birds. On our house & vehicles. Every year. You are so smart for the way you got her to get rid of the tree. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Story 3 and 4 - Wow I’m feel so bad for OP for not only having a spoiled brat of a brother and for having parents that coddled and allowed him to be this way because he’s autistic. There’s no excuse for that. Thank God that OP’s aunt and friends were there for him when he needed them. I have no sympathy for OP’s parents for they created this mess and the little monster and now they’re reaping what they’ve sowed. Whatever happens next… Serves them right.
As someone twice diagnosed with autism, I can certainly say that spoiling children is not the way to handle children, especially autistic ones. I've seen that story from Reddit where a 19-year-old spoiled kid brutally beat his mother after the latter told him to get a job (it was an AITA story). It doesn't stop there, as I've seen arsonist spoiled kids in ConnorPugs' channel.
Little autism brother was done NO favors by the parents spoiling him. Probably in jail or at best the court system now. Not entirely his fault, at least 90% is on the parents.
A relative never corrected their child saying that they have autism so we need to be more understanding, his autism wasn't enough to keep him from going to jail for SA even though they tell everyone the county railroaded him because of his autism.
Stalking and sexual harassment is actually a common problem amongst autistic boys to the point that autistic people regularly have to beg the parents of autistic children to discipline them normally! Autistic people who were either parented normally or neglected *never* turn out like this. It *only* ever happens with the boys whose parents used autism as an excuse to never discipline their son. There are entire parenting groups dedicated to non-autistic parents of autistic kids asking autistic adults for help just so we can work on preventing more kids like this from growing up into dangerous adults. This is what happens when we stigmatize autism and treat autistic people as if they all have the minds of a toddler.
As someone who’s also high functioning on the Autism spectrum, the final stories made me facepalm so hard, I think I just painted the back room red. OP’s parents over-enabled and overly coddled his brother. They only have themselves to blame.
My ex SIL’s parenting was similar to OP’s parents. She coddled her first child, ignored the second, and babied her third child. One and three ie the spoiled, lazy, never-made-to-be-accountable kids, are currently in jail. Child 2 finished high school (the other 2 were allowed to drop out at age 16), joined the military, and cut contact. Ex SIL ferociously defends her no good kids, blaming everyone else and claiming they were the victims.
That story with the purse happened to me in a thrift shop with my jacket. The woman picked it up while I was checking another jacket and tried to walk off with it. Cheap proceeded to the country and was going to try to pay for it right there . I told her and the clerk it was my coat. I didn't point out that my wallet was in an inside pocket. There would be thief reached in,fished out my wallet,and handed it to me without a word. I then pointed out to the clerk that that was obviously proof positive that the jacket belonged to me from start to finish and that it was what I came In wearing when I entered the store. I then reached over and took it from the other woman's hand,and put it on again. She did not say anything,but she looked most unhappy
Story Last. Kids like that is why there is CPS. OP should have called CPS when he was 14 and explained that his parents were raising a monster and let the Government crack down on his immature family.
Story 2: I would have asked what her daughter was taking at the Ivy League school that made her so much better than everyone else. I would have also asked the cops to ask for the woman's name to see if it matched the stuff in the bag. Now no matter what OP knows Karens name and using that OP's husband can speak with whoever is in charge of Karen Junior's program to speak with her to let her know that Karen will need to not show that type of behavior (give details about how Karen acted towards OP whose husband is faculty at the school) towards others if she wants to be able to visit the school or attend Karen Junior's graduation. And also to remind Karen Junior that this type of behavior towards others is not a good example of the type of behavior that a true professional displays no matter who it is they are dealing with. Story 3: Let's call OP's brother Karen Junior or KJ, OP's mom, will be Karen, OP's dad will be Chad, OP is OP, the birthday kid will be BK and BK's mom will be BM. Given that BM knew what Karen Junior was like should have made it clear to Karen & Chad that Karen Junior was not invited to the party which was going to be only for the friends of BK, so they could just drop OP off at the party if OP was coming. And if I was BM I would have talked to every parent in the area about KJ's rampage and how Karen & Chad reacted and how they tried to make the party events ALL about KJ, then I'd encourage them to not invite Karen/Chad/KJ to anything and even go as far as to send an uninvite notice to them that said that they were NOT allowed at the event or on the property the event was happening on and that police would be called to remove them if they came. And given how the parents are raising KJ a call to CPS might be warranted as they are just enabling KJ's bad behavior that will lead to worse behaviors as she gets older which could lead to some very serious consequences when he turns 16 and does similar or worse things. Story 4: Glad that people learned and just not invited OP's brother Karen Junior that spoiled demonic crotch spawn of Karen & Chad. And given KJ's violent outbursts, things are only going to get worse with him without some almost extreme interventions. Parents might have to just let him do something and have the cops take him away or call CPS and say that he is beyond their ability to safely care for and ask for help. The sad thing is that this is all the parent's fault for allowing Karen Junior to do whatever he wanted with no consequences and now they will reap what they have sown and Karen Junior is going to either end up in jail or a locked facility or in some group home. But at least OP got out of there and hopefully they go no contact with their immediate family as Karen & Chad will probably ask OP to help with his brother or even take over his care as "OP owes us for raising him"
I happen to live with an autistic young man . He is working and he is the kindest and sweetest man you'd want to meet. His mother raised him right not spoiling him or having to make any excuses for any bad behaviors. He was taught responsibility for his own choices. He has a woman friend he's dating. Sure he has some problems like not always knowing what's appropriate to talk about in conversations sometimes. What really strikes me the most is his child like innocents. For you gamers out there he's also one heck of a video game player. He doesn't let autism define him and doesn't make excuses himself. That's the difference between having a good parent and a bad one always making excuses for the child and never teaching them or correcting them when needed.
Birthday Story: If I were the father of the Birthday boy, the moment OP's brother shoved the cake into my son, I'd have called the Police and Pressed Charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon (the candles were still burning) and Destruction of Property against both the Brat AND his Parents (I'd leave OP out of the Charges as he didn't do anything wrong)... THEN I'd call a Lawyer and Sue OP's Parents for the cost of the cake, the cost of cleaning everything (table cloth, seat cushions, my son's clothes etc.), the Mental and Emotional Damage caused to my Son when a burning candle covered cake hit him, his Medical Bills if he got burned by the candles and Punitive Damages... After THAT, I'd file for a Restraining Order (No Contact and Stay Off My Property) against the Destructive Brat and his Parents...the RO would specifically EXCLUDE OP as he did nothing wrong, though if he carried any messages from his Parents or Brat Brother, then THEY get Arrested for Violating the RO...
I had an entitled cousin like op brother (he wasn't autistic, he was a miracle baby) and even the police chief had to call my cousin's wife to give some rules to the boy, but she didn't care. I thopught he would be a loser or worst when grow up, but when his adoptive older brother went to a big city to go to better a better school, he went too and the parents stayed on the countryside. Once he had to live by himself with his brother when was a teen, his life changed. Now he is a doctor and I'm still surprised with this outcome.
Story 3 & 4: I have a son with autism. He was diagnosed at age 3. Is non-verbal and as of this writing, is 30 yrs old but with the cognitive level of an 8 yr old. He is also on 2 anti-seizure meds (started having seizures at age 9). Fortunately, we had him in special ed classes through out his school years, and being on those meds, which ironically were originally created as mood stabilizers, I think they have helped him stay on an even keel, emotionally. My late husband and I made darned sure that from childhood, that he knew right from wrong; what was bad behavior and what was good. He still has occasional angry moods, but I also learned from years back how not to escalate/enable those situations.
S3&4: that kevin(raised by a karen) is in for a rude awakening when he hits high school and will most likely spend most of his junior year getting stuffed into lockers because noone can tolerate the little shit
@@JohnH20111 well to be honest, that "attitude adjustment" is pretty much the only thing that will open the eyes of that entitled nightmare brat and make him rethink his actions and make him see that actions has consequences because his parents sure as fuck didnt teach him that. heck if i even did a fraction of what that kid did when i was a kid i wouldnt be able to sit for a month and would be blowing soap bubbles for just as long
Story 3: oh that poor poor kid, i feel for this boy on spiritual level, my cousin tried to steal the spotlight from my birthday when I was 9, and yes also destroyed my cake, but he threw it across the room and on my parent's leather couch, i repayed him in kind, the year after on my 10th birthday
Story 3: that's not Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), thats Anti Social personality Disorder (ASPD) and possibly Narcissistic Personality Disorder! Big difference between being autistic and being a sociopath! Those of us with high-functioning autism used to be labled as "shy" because we typically are uncomfortable in social situations while this brat has to be the center of attention like a certain Malignant Narcissist who's currently under indictment...
There could be an overlap, but even a child who is not considered neurodivergent who is NEVER told "no" and made the center of the universe, is going to turn out to be a monster, or at least someone who will be incapable of functioning outside the family unit because no one else is going to put up with that crap. He was not "handicapped" by whatever condition he might or might not have had. He was handicapped by his terrible parents, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the brother who was treated like a second banana all his life doesn't have some emotional damage he now needs to deal with. Very sad.
The "expensive" bag story: uhm... Does that bag look BRAND NEW to you? Enabled child: So, what's going to happen to this 'special' child when he's an adult and 'mommy and daddy' aren't around to excuse his behavior or clean up his mess! Having a child on the spectrum doesn't give that child a license to act that way! -- mother of twins on the spectrum who were never spoiled, graduated from high school, been fully employed, hoping to get into the military, and very self sufficient!
Parents in 3rd/4th story: Brother cant ruin op's birthday party if there is no party....See we can be smart.....why isnt everyone telling us that is the best idea ever?
Funny thing I thought about as I heard the story was that my own parents pretty much stopped throwing birthday parties before we even got out of elementary school. After that, it was usually just dinner at the restaurant of the bday person's choice, maybe a present or two, and a dessert (By age 12 I preferred Texas Refrigerator Pie over cake). Of course, I wasn't all that social to begin with so the only appeal parties had was the number of presents. I never asked my brother what he thought about the issue.
Story 3 and 4. Look, Autism is a spectrum, and their are kids who have it who will never progress past a certain age mentally. But its still not an excuse to enable behavior. The parents were hurting their favorite child by enabling and encouraging that behavior. Honestly, so disgusting
I have high functioning autism and I cannot believw how these parents went on. If we need "special" treatment, this is not it. I know fully well that someones birthay is not about me, and lots of other similar situations. This due to my parents raising me right, along with me trying to learn social cues on my own. Of course there were much struggle and problems growing up, but never the "get everything I want" attitude, and no enabling. Heck, when I was in church for my little brother's baptism I fell and hit my head in one of the pews. Did not scream, did not say a word. Because I KNEW that you do not scream in church. If I could be taught that as a four year old, without even having a diagnose yet, then this guy in his teens? clearly could have been taught to not ruin birthday parties.
Story 3: When I heard the brother was the "golden child," I immediately knew where this story was going. I am also slightly autistic, but I know what's right and wrong. I wasn't given everything I wanted, but that's okay. I learned to be happy with what I had, and I know how to function in society. Story 4: I love how the parents now have to deal with what they created.
My oldest child is on the spectrum. Nobody can really tell unless they try to get him to be social. He seems like a normal neurotypical child. He knows better than to act like the kid in the story. I am also on the spectrum too. Like wtf is wrong with these parents.
Story 3/4. I think I remember this episode of South Park. One kids birthday party, and Cartman has to get a gift from his mother for every gift the birthday boy received. I can only imagine the horror the brother’s own parties must have been like. Not to mention if the OP had tried to blow out the brother’s candles first. “Mom, you can always relight them and do it again, right?”
I’m autistic and I would never want people to excuse my behavior if I was inappropriate, I would want people to tell me and educate me, and I would want to apologize. people with disabilities should be held accountable. We don’t want to be demend so you should hold us to the same standard as other people. My mom and the rest of my family always made sure to describe and help me with social expectations and clearly his parents did not do that and just spoiled him and never gave him a nice controlled environment.
What would have been funny would have been if the aunt had shown up on the second birthday after they gave him an undecorated cake...with a decorating kit to put his name all over the thing.
6:09 "Looked Way Too Poor To Afford A Bag Like This"?? Not Everybody needs to afford things. Second-Hand stores sell those same things. All. The. Time. Loser Karen has to afford stuff?? LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For me, who is autistic myself, the parents' behavior is absolutely incomprehensible. As a parent, it is your job to guide the child so that he or she learns to control his or her behavior. As parents, it is not our job to spoil our children completely, but rather to prepare them as best as possible for this world and its people.
I know all about a spoiled kid, my stepson sounds just like this brat, this was all on his mother, my stbxw, yeah, we divorced... How could this mother expect to allow her brat to blow out the candles FIRST? WTF , rotten parents!
My daughter is adhd and autistic and now 16. She was taught right from wrong. She was taught to share and that her condition should never be used as an excuse for what you want. She is learning to be an adult, and the only thing that gives her condition away are the few triggers she can not cope with. She is caring and worked hard to understand others and their feelings. She would never embarrass our family with bad behaviour and even apologise when she is triggered and make others uncomfortable.
Autism is never an excuse to parent your kid. My kid has autism and I do not allow him to act out in public. He is 8 now, and he does quite well because I have worked with him from a young age. These parents deserve everything they for treating the kid like he is more special than everyone else.
Story 1: OP played Karen right into her hands. Story 2: Some people think they're entitled to everything they see. She knew she would've got into big trouble when the police pulled out the contents which clearly belonged to OP. Story 3: OP should've demanded the same at his brother's birthday. See how he likes it. Story 4: It was too litle, too late by the OPs parents. They will reap what they sow.
Story 2: Not worth it! Why would anyone fight over that bag? And anyone who is stupid enough to pay thousands of dollars for a bag, I just can’t. A fool and their money shall soon part.
The last 2 stories, I can almost see my 15 yr old grandson…his brother is 2 yrs older & my son & ex dil think he’s autistic, but he’s never been diagnosed. He is the sweetest teenager you can imagine. Don’t get me wrong, the 15 yr old can be sweet, but he is SPOILED!! The other grandmother would give the youngest one gifts on his brother’s birthday, so he didn’t feel left out & only did it once or twice for the oldest. The boy’s mother always made the older one get off whatever game system because the youngest wanted to play, when the oldest had only played about 15 minutes!! She has also basically abandoned the boy’s, the oldest wants nothing to do with her & thinks of the stepmom as mom. The youngest, knowing & witnessing what she’s done & said, still gives her chance after chance.
Mulberry tree story: I like the commenters idea about the wine market going belly up. High functioning autistic children CAN be taught proper behaviors, but it does take more work. But if you don't put in that work you wind up with a spoiled brat that has no friends that also tends to be very destructive when he/she doesn't get their way.
Parents really need to be able to teach their kids that not everything is about them. Years ago when I worked retail, I was helping a mom with getting her older son boots. Here’s the kicker: the older son had no say in the style nor color of the cowboy boots. The younger son did. Why? Because the older son was going to break them in, gently, for his younger brother. And since they would go to the younger brother later, he was the one choosing. The older brother couldn’t even make suggestions. He looked so sad while his brother was as happy as a clam. Each pair, the older brother kept saying that he didn’t like what his brother was picking out, but his mom told him to “just hush”. The older brother looked about ready to cry. I felt terrible for him. I nearly called a manager to intervene. Really should have. The older brother was then told, after the mom and the younger brother had picked a pair, to remember that he had to be careful and wear them gently and to clean them when they got dirty. That poor kid. His younger brother has got to be so entitled now (he’s got to be around 20, now. He was somewhere around 10 back then). Hopefully the older one has cut his mom and brother out of his life.
I too am deeply shocked by these parents actions. I have seen favoritism of younger siblings due to them acting up but no one would have thought of going that far. My son is also a high functioning autistic and we have always given him lots of attention, but as for rewards of good behavior. As a result he is the favorite of the teachers, staff, other adults. He is the easiest kid I have had to raise just by starting off firm yet supportive of good behavior with him and maintaining it. Every parent I know with autistic kids have had the same experience. When that boy from the story ends up in jail he should sue his parents.
As a kid I remember,being at other people’s birthday parties and feeling incredibly anxious whenever it came time for the cake. I remember wanting to leave the room and feeling incredibly embarrassed and overwhelmed when the singing was happening. Not my birthday but someone else’s. I don’t remember having birthday parties as a kid and that was fine with me. I think I once did have a few school friends that had a meal with my family at a Chinese restaurant, and there was a sort of cake, but no singing happened thank goodness 😳 I’m not sure what or why I felt this way but I just remember it being a feeling that I didn’t like. I never understood why someone else’s family and friends singing happy birthday made ME feel embarrassed and anxious. I’ve never been able to figure it out.
I am on the autism spectrum. My parents taught me right from wrong and didn't spoil me. OP's parents in that story had no excuse for what they did to their son.
I'd love to see said parents explain to the judge that their son didn't deserve to go to prison because he's 'autistic'. Remember, if you don't straighten your kids out, the world will do it for you, and the world will not be as kind.
As some one who is autistic i found that embarrassing. I never behaved like that and I wasn't perfect. The fact is a parent is there to be a bloody influence and raise the child in the right way. They enabled him and his likely to land up jailed unless someone actually tells him to grow the duck up. disgusting parents.
Non autistic children I can understand the allowance. High functioning autism, they just used as an excuse to coddle him. OP’s brother knew exactly what he was doing. I’m sure when he got called out on his behavior by anyone unfamiliar with autism, he would use it as an excuse. Those parents reaped what they sowed.
Last stories - This is something that parents never think about when indulging a child; that kid grows up and - usually it is a son - during his teen years he will have raging hormones and be entitled. That kid can do so much damage to property AND persons, and no one can control them at that point. Maybe OP can help his folks with tuition to military school - it sounds like just what this kid needs!
As someone who is slightly autistic myself, I am so very glad I learnt the lesson of consequences very early on in my life, and I can look back at the tough parenting (and other things kid me had to go through) as important life lessons that helped me become the adult I am today.
Story 2: the snobbery and insults of the entitled customer aside, I've got plenty of bags/purses (both designer and not) that are pretty heavy before I even put anything in them. I'm not trying to flex or brag about my designer bags, my Coach purses are bought when both Coach and Macy's have their mega sales. My Guess bags are also bought on sale. Same goes for the matching wallets, because I LOVE matching wallets AND mega sales. 😂😂
Heard story 3 a few times now, on many different channels- lol I enjoy it every time (yay to the aunt!!) I remember there being a final update where the older brother talks honestly to the little brother about how life won't be like that when he's a grownup, he doesn't have any friends, what's he going to do for a job, what will happen to him when their parents die?? And the little bro goes all quiet, he'd obviously never thought ahead at all, and that little talk helped him a lot (lol obviously there was a lot of backsliding but at least he started to start trying, babysteps babysteps😂🤷♀️). The big brother was a better parent to that kid than his actual parents were!!
Story 3: My son is on the spectrum & has ADHD however my son would have NEVER acted in a way even close to OP's sibling! OP's parents are horrible awful disgusting people! It is up to the parents to teach their children right from wrong! If the child is old enough to attend school & gets invited to a bday party then it's 1000% the parents responsibility to teach their child right from! I have 2 friends who's children are on the spectrum & will never mature beyond the age of 10 but both children know how to behave are there blow ups? Of course but as parents we step up & act like parents! Children have disabilities that's just life however just because your crotch goblin is on the spectrum or has some other disability does NOT mean the world revolves around "karen" or her crotch goblin! I wonder if a child who was not only on the spectrum but also physically disabled would they allow that child to blow out candles on their child's cake? I'm going to say NO FUCKING WAY

The saddest part of the last two stories is that the spoiled child is eventually going to be released into the real world as a spoiled man; the moment he's told he can't have or do something, I'm willing to bet he'll rampage and end up in jail for either property damage or assault (or both). Then, when he calls mommy and daddy to fix his mess, you know they'll be glad to be rid of him and hang up after tell him he's the jail's problem now. Those parents really set their youngest up for failure by not teaching him respect and empathy.
I call this when "Real Life" smacks an overly entitled kid in the face. It is almost totally the parents fault.
This is why they call it "spoiling" a child. Because it ruins their entire life. You can't go back and fix that damage.
Spoilt means bad, bad means rotten, rotten means trash.
I know plenty of autistic people and they all act normal with the occasional quirk. But this is nuts

The mulberry story was hilarious, and I agree the perfect revenge would be to tell her that thanks to her you were saved tons of money on not making mulberry wine anymore.

It just boggles my mind how a parent can just walk up to the birthday host of a party they have been invited to & ask if their child can blow out the birthday boys candles, so her child can feel included and not be embarrassed while doing it. Thats beyond entitled. Its just plain selfish & rude. The lack of parenting is most likely going to bit them hard when he is to old to control.
Entitled-ness can stem from leftover Golden Child spoiling of the parents who never grew up out of the mindset, or they're actually fully-actualized sufferers of a Cluster B Personality Disorder, which is characterized by, among other things, a reduced ability to feel empathy.
Part of me wonders if they proceed to act like psychos BECAUSE they're embarrassed after being refused or otherwise called out, and just can't handle it so they think they can, for lack of a better term, "brute force" their way out of being wrong, and somehow convince everyone around them and themselves that they're actually right if they just act upset enough and never concede.
@@GoddessOfThree That's pretty much it
The purse-Karen. Definitely should have had the police make an arrest. She not only stole the purse, she stole Rx medication. That has serious charges in some places.
The birthday kid. I've got two autistic kids, and it's tough often, especially when they were younger. But they still learned there are clear lines of behavior.
I have autism myself, and I absolutely loath people who will use autism as an excuse to allow such behavior... It's an absolute disgrace.
Yeah, I have autism, too. Not diagnosed until later in life, but my son was before he hit school.
He is treated better than I was, but you're just a smart problem child without one.
We still teach our son not to be entitled and share, and this kid would give you the shirt off his back if he thought it could help.
It's all in how you raise the kid.
same here I too have it but I don't behave nothing like that and autism don't excuse bad behavior
I agree if that was my Kid I'd tell them that is not okay and apologize to the family.
Hi, autistic adult here, same thing. Entitlement is an addiction that I am happy to have never had.
Too many parents basically wrap their autistic children with emotional bubble wrap. That and they can’t differentiate a autistic meltdown from a temper tantrum. That leads to a child that cries to get whatever they want. They’re autistic, not two. They can handle not blowing out the birthday candles
As a person on the spectrum I hate it when people use Autism as an excuse in any way! It's NOT an excuse to be a sh*tty person! You need discipline as any other child and maybe even more at some points during growing up so you understand the world you have to adapt to and live in!
It’s an explanation for behaviour, not an excuse. If you act like a dick because you got overwhelmed you apologise once you realise you’re acting like a dick. You’re autistic, not two years old
Agreed!
Amen!
*Third and Fourth Stories:* As someone with HFA, OP's brother's behavior is not standard behavior for someone with it. That's just plain entitlement from a spoiled brat. His parents are some of the worst I've heard about in these stories, just above those who abandon their kids. I'm glad they got humiliated for their behavior; that's the only way narcissists like them learn.
As someone with Aspergers/high functioning autism, I cosign this. Because the kid is HFA, he can definitely be talked to and learn and understand. By 6-7, it's would take a lot of work on the parents part to turn it around. Children learn from what they see, what they're taught, and what is allowed. If you don't teach them right (corporal punishment isn't necessary except maybe in very extreme circumstances when the kid is in teen years i.e. psychopath behavior/actions) nor show via example how they should act when they're young, it'll be an long uphill battle (hence, why some claim physical punishment is necessary. It's seen as the quickest way once the damage has been done by the parents). It's unfortunate how these parents failed their son. However, once you're an adult it's your responsibility to do the work. You don't have to do it alone. You can get help and/or join support groups and share advice even if it's just online. The age of information opens a lot of possibilities. Not all problems can be solved via work on the self, but this behavior definitely can.
@@tiffanysmith6695 but that would only happen if he was rolled in to a millitary School, otherweise it's to little, to late. "Kiddo" is 14 now.
@@hellefur7861I think I agree. I might not have been clear or misword it. I typed the comment in the middle of something lol. But in this situation, it's too late for OP's brother especially because he is so close to being old enough to be charged as an adult. Unless he has some kind of sudden epiphany or life changing experience (since the parents can't afford military school), it's too late for him to get out of this unscathed. People can change, but I think he's gonna have to go through a lot of tribulations and real world consequences before then. Thanks for the clarification
Who do you blame
When your kid is a brat?
Pampered and spoiled
Like a Siamese Cat?
Blaming the kids
Is a lie and a shame.

Who’s to blame.

If I was the aunt I'd be calling CPS and telling them that the family needs to be trained in handling autistic children. I have Asperger's and my little brother has a higher form of autism but at least he's not that selfish and is understanding than this kid.
I've got Asperger's, and ADHD, I can be a bit of an asshole, and I'm very short tempered, but I don't use that as an excuse for anything, nor do I feel like the world owes me

@@brendanboomhour7606 I was seven and wasn't a bad kid at all I was actually probably the best kid out of the entire class. Quiet, shy but other than that not a bad kid.
I have Asperger’s myself and I wasn’t diagnosed until 13. And despite being the “quiet weirdo”, I still never acted like the kids in stories 3 and 4. My parents told me that regardless of whatever I had, they expected me to behave like everyone else was expected to or get a tanned hide(I was born in the 90s when spanking was still legal)
Story 2: "Looked too poor" is a clear cut case of classism. Karen thinks that an item can't belong to someone because they don't look like they have the money to buy it. I would definitely have loved to hear her reaction if OP told her that OP's husband was an Ivy professor.
Karen would claim OP is lying

@@Stonedsheepu8906 I know of people who put all their money into a big fancy house but then end up using second hand/hand me down furniture, curbside finds and lawn furniture in their house.
I refuse to believe anyone who says "Ew, a poor," is a real person and not a cartoon character.
Seeing the picture of the bag at 8:05 my first thought was 'that's ugly, why would anyone want it?'
Stories 3 and 4 bring back another story very similar...
OP's sister, who was born as the result of a very risky pregnancy that almost killed her and the mother, was spoiled rotten. They let the sister basically steal all of OP's birthdays since she was 2, blow the candles, have a cake meant for her, have more presents than OP and always celebrate in a place the sister liked. OP was forced to endure the favoritism, being gaslit and punished every time he complained.
Everything came to a head at OP's 18th birthday, when the family celebrated it at a place the sister wanted, brought a girl's cake and had the sister blow out the candles. OP broke down crying, loudly, and that was when the rest of the family (not the mother or the father) realized how much they had wronged him, and essentially forced the mother and father to make things right.
The entire family gave OP a surprise party at a later date, and even bought him a car... which the sister vandalized with a hammer because she couldn't have her own, and even bit her parents when they tried to stop her. She was 8yo at the time.
OP eventually moved out and went very little contact with his parents, while the sister was sent to boarding school, which she hated and kept screaming at the parents over it. In the end, they lost both of their children and most likely damaged their daughter beyond repair.
I remember this story! Can't recall if it was read on TH-cam or if I saw it while browsing reddit itself but I know it was recent!
I read that story too it was horrible the way those parents did their kids
There was a recent update for anyone reading; the sister was eventually committed to an institution because she threatened herself and bullied other students. Her demand? Candy. Mother was discovered to have been smuggling junk food to the sister while she was in the institution. Yes she was diagnosed with something pretty extreme.
someone hmu when a link to this story is found
Story 3 and 4: Autism is not an excuse to be entitled to everything and parents need to understand that autism will not protect said child once they hit their teen age when reality puts it's foot down and spank the kid entitlement out of them in jail.
Agreed, i was born with autism and even I wasn't like this kid, that's a difference between when i was born in the 90's and now. When i was a kid, even with autism, my parents were understanding yet firm. I wasn't diagnosed with autism until i was 8, but my parents had a gandle on it long before then. Sure, special needs kids need a bit more attention, but there is a difference beween that and what these parents did with their autistic son.
They reckon 70% of prisoners in jail are on the spectrum.
I am a high functioning autistic man and I do not act like this kid. Now I did tell my coworkers that I have autism and what to look out for but it was never entitled acts. More like loud sirens or really loud music sets me off and my manager even told me put my ear buds in and put my headset over them, but that was it.
Amen. I have high functioning autism and I never thought of it as an excuse for my behavior. Nor did my parents enable me or coddle me. They expected me to act appropriately at all times
Yeah in later posts the OP and the rest of the family had an intervention about the brats behavior which led to I think selling all of the brats possessions like electronic devices with the exception of a laptop the brat can only use for school. Plus, it was at that point the parents realized their mistake.
I like the aunt of the guy from story 3 & 4. If the parents actually cared about their first kid they wouldn’t need to be shamed into doing the right thing.
Story 4: The key term here is "High Functioning." If he does well enough to have that qualifier attached to the diagnosis, there's no excuse for any of this. And the ending of the story, well.... Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
i get get it as my cousin's eldest son is autistic so i've experienced what like having to deal with it
I agree. My daughter is 5 and recently diagnosed with autism and ADHD. She has her moments here and there, bit we nip that in the bid immediately. And she most certainly does NOT act like those entitled brats!!
@ranablue8470 higher or lower end? I didn't get diagnosed until adulthood and I never acted like this
If I tried that I'd get the belt
Story 3: I have high functioning autism myself and if I had acted like OP’s brother at someone else’s birthday party, my parents would have tanned my hide to the point where I wouldn’t be sitting down for a year. I hate it when people use any form of autism or disability as an excuse for entitlement or selfish behavior
Story 4 only helps provide more evidence as to why this sort of thing makes my blood boil
Yep, the kid is going to end up as a criminal when he becomes an adult. Because his parents never disciplined him properly as a child.
I bet by the time he is in his 20s he’ll end up in jail, for something ridiculous. Stealing someone else’s car because he wanted it.
The only thing worse than dealing with a Karen is having an EP yourself, I hope OP is low contact with him and being on the spectrum myself I cannot condone the brother's actions, even I think that's messed up, and I feel for that birthday boy on a spiritual level
Being "special" doesn't give you privileges when it came to another person's birthday, the Parents were using his Autism to their advantage.

My son is autistic and I can not imagine allowing him to do this. Our whole job as parents is to raise our children to function without us. ANC yes, some with autism can do this. All these parents did was teach their child he should get his way no matter what. If they keep this up, he is going to end up in jail
RE the vintage bag story. This happened to a couple I know. They were both retired military (majors). She AF pilot & he was a Marine. They had decided to go to a thrift store to look for flannel shirts, sweaters & hoodies to face the coming winter. Arriving they split up. She picked some likely items & then went to try these thing on looking in a mirror. First, she had to take off her leather A-2 flight jacket. She placed it across the rack behind her. She began trying items on & a few minutes later she saw her jacket was missing. She looked about even checking the floor. She then saw a teen age girl had walked to checkout trying to purchase the A-2. My friend dashed to the front to stop the sale.
The teen Karen refused to return the leather jacket. She found so it was hers. By this point Mom Karen arrived. She insisted that the sale should proceed. My friend truly loved this coat. She had worn it on many missions & there was an emotional tie. Marine husband wandered over but his wife waved him off.
Mom Karen then called the police. They waited until the patrol woman arrived. Mom & Karen gave a heavily embellished retelling of events. Mother even claimed that women were banned by law from flying AF combat missions.
The officer then asked my friend her side of the story. The pilot pointed out her embroidered name upon the front chest. She then asked the officer to go to an inner pocket to pull out her smart phone. After being given the phone she opened the Photo section. There were many photos of her on active duty in both Iraq & Afghanistan. In several pictures she was wearing her A-2 jacket. The police woman then handed the jacket back to the my friend. Both Big & teen Karens yelled & demanded a Police supervisor be sent to the store.
The officer said they were free to go to the police station to complain.
My friends returned to shopping. A few days later they called the police station to praise the officers conduct. The Police Sgt. thanked them for the call. The Karen’s did come in to complain. The photographic proof ended their whining.
As someone who has Autism, I can honestly say that while I wasn't a saint, there's some things you just don't do.
I mean, ruining other folks' birthdays.... that's just mean.
Story 3+4: I have mild Aspergers, and my parents didn't coddle me. Heck, I was pretty respectful during other people's birthday parties I attended during my elementary school days. I never demanded to go first in games, I never snooped around other presents, and I definitely never clotheslined cakes like it was a wrestling match.
I feel bad for OP to live with a toxic family. Heck, even OP wasn't spared from such a coddled kid, with the family deciding that OP shouldn't have B-Day parties because the brother wasn't the center of attention.
With how spoiled and enabled the autistic brother is for just having autism, to the point of getting violent for not getting what he wanted, it'll carry into adulthood, and he'll eventually get sued or arrested or even killed at the worst. And who will the parents blame?
The solution? Stop coddling the brother. They need to *TRY* to teach him what is right or wrong, tell him no, and set him straight the best they can. If they aren't doing that, then they won't have a son for a long time.
Edit: Well, they're definitely trying, but it's a case of a little too late. I think that military camp is a good idea
And this is why many think Autism is fake with these clowns.
Absolutely agree

My son is a very happy well adjusted 17 year old who loves going for walks with his old time music playing while chatting to the locals in our town. Everyone knows and loves him.

A very sticky situation for sure!
Story 3: OP's parents are unfit. CPS should be involved, because they are clearly negecting the parenting; they treat their youngest as though he were the Son of God. The child needs proper parenting and learning, and the parents need proper training first to be real parents, and second how to PROPERLY raise and manage an autistic child. Not proper parenting is child abuse and neglect.
Edit: OP's parents realized where they went wrong, too little, too late.
For that first tree story, you should have reported her for taking the tree down without a permit. Depending on the jurisdiction, she could get a big fine and have to pay to have the tree restored. Just consider it revenge of Tree Law!
As a 35-year old man with HFA, the parents were TERRIBLE in their parenting, and their son's behavior is all due to their enabling. My mom and dad were quick to teach me that another kid's birthday party is their own, not mine, and their presents, if they allow me, are to just share with me, not mine to own. Plus, if I ever asked for anything, my mom would always say, "Maybe for your birthday/Christmas" and my dad would say, "Do you have the money for it? I'm not just buying you something." I still have some episodes of where something goes wrong, I get very frustrated, but my girlfriend helps to calm me down and keep me grounded and help me regain focus.
I don't feel any sympathy for the parents, though. They allowed this, and without the crutch of the older child to lean on, they are now feeling the wrath of their own inactions.
At this point, I'm not sure military school would be a good option either. To go from freely doing what he wants to a super-strict environment, without conditioning, is going to just make him that much more rebellious and violent. He definitely needs proper counseling as a start.
I always hate customers who don’t take no for an answer about trying to take/buy personal items from workers. A coworker had a ziplock bag of bannock (fried bread) hidden in the back of a sandwich cooler since we didn’t have a staff fridge so we all stuck our lunches back there. Someone dug it out and wanted to know the price and when I told him it wasn’t for sale he tried to pressure me into giving it to him, then to give him some of it. And I’m just like, dude, it isn’t mine I can’t give you my coworker’s lunch.
Story 3: IIRC, OP is no contact with the family now after posting about a birthday celebration with his friends and them going nuclear over it and saying he wasn't allowed. As an adult.
Story 3 and 4: I heard about these two stories. The parents really failed to raise the child. I hope that OP would keep the distance between OP's parents and the brother.
Autism is no excuse to be a coddled AH. Those parents are fools. If I was OP, I'd go NC with the whole pack of them, except for Awesome Aunt. 🤨
BOTH of my grandsons are autistic, and neither ONE of them has EVER been allowed to act like that in public!!! SHAME on those parents!
Story 1: My neighbor HATED, just HATED a couple of trees planted and growing near our shared fence. It was his chain-link fence, which was toppling over (he'd hit it with his car when coming home DUI), and I offered to go half in rebuilding/repairing it. He came back with thousands $$ brick replacement design and I refused. He went bonkers, and let the old fence further collapse over time. When I built a new garage, a trencher routed a new underground electric service to the garage that required removal of the trees. Neighbor spent much of the day gloating in the driveway, ragging on me about the trees. The tree cutter said casually that there would have no shade to protect his car from the sun. He spent the rest of the day cursing us, the trees, my new garage, nature. He called City inspectors who reviewed my building permit, who "recommended with citation" that neighbor repair his fence. KARMA is a b!tch.
As a mom of 4, two with autism, it's even worse to spoil them, because it is harder to correct their behaviour in the first place. They need firm guidance and rules to develop in adults that can function in society.
My sympathy on story 1. We have a neighbor across the street with a very huge, unkempt mulberry tree & we get all the droppings thanks to the birds. On our house & vehicles. Every year. You are so smart for the way you got her to get rid of the tree. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Story 3 and 4 - Wow I’m feel so bad for OP for not only having a spoiled brat of a brother and for having parents that coddled and allowed him to be this way because he’s autistic. There’s no excuse for that.
Thank God that OP’s aunt and friends were there for him when he needed them.
I have no sympathy for OP’s parents for they created this mess and the little monster and now they’re reaping what they’ve sowed. Whatever happens next… Serves them right.
As someone twice diagnosed with autism, I can certainly say that spoiling children is not the way to handle children, especially autistic ones. I've seen that story from Reddit where a 19-year-old spoiled kid brutally beat his mother after the latter told him to get a job (it was an AITA story). It doesn't stop there, as I've seen arsonist spoiled kids in ConnorPugs' channel.
Little autism brother was done NO favors by the parents spoiling him. Probably in jail or at best the court system now. Not entirely his fault, at least 90% is on the parents.
Guaranteed that kid is definitely within the court system by now.
A relative never corrected their child saying that they have autism so we need to be more understanding, his autism wasn't enough to keep him from going to jail for SA even though they tell everyone the county railroaded him because of his autism.
Stalking and sexual harassment is actually a common problem amongst autistic boys to the point that autistic people regularly have to beg the parents of autistic children to discipline them normally!
Autistic people who were either parented normally or neglected *never* turn out like this. It *only* ever happens with the boys whose parents used autism as an excuse to never discipline their son. There are entire parenting groups dedicated to non-autistic parents of autistic kids asking autistic adults for help just so we can work on preventing more kids like this from growing up into dangerous adults.
This is what happens when we stigmatize autism and treat autistic people as if they all have the minds of a toddler.
DarkFluff is one of my favorite channels
As someone who’s also high functioning on the Autism spectrum, the final stories made me facepalm so hard, I think I just painted the back room red. OP’s parents over-enabled and overly coddled his brother. They only have themselves to blame.
My ex SIL’s parenting was similar to OP’s parents. She coddled her first child, ignored the second, and babied her third child. One and three ie the spoiled, lazy, never-made-to-be-accountable kids, are currently in jail. Child 2 finished high school (the other 2 were allowed to drop out at age 16), joined the military, and cut contact. Ex SIL ferociously defends her no good kids, blaming everyone else and claiming they were the victims.
That story with the purse happened to me in a thrift shop with my jacket.
The woman picked it up while I was checking another jacket and tried to walk off with it.
Cheap proceeded to the country and was going to try to pay for it right there .
I told her and the clerk it was my coat. I didn't point out that my wallet was in an inside pocket.
There would be thief reached in,fished out my wallet,and handed it to me without a word.
I then pointed out to the clerk that that was obviously proof positive that the jacket belonged to me from start to finish and that it was what I came In wearing when I entered the store. I then reached over and took it from the other woman's hand,and put it on again.
She did not say anything,but she looked most unhappy
Story Last. Kids like that is why there is CPS. OP should have called CPS when he was 14 and explained that his parents were raising a monster and let the Government crack down on his immature family.
Story 2: I would have asked what her daughter was taking at the Ivy League school that made her so much better than everyone else. I would have also asked the cops to ask for the woman's name to see if it matched the stuff in the bag. Now no matter what OP knows Karens name and using that OP's husband can speak with whoever is in charge of Karen Junior's program to speak with her to let her know that Karen will need to not show that type of behavior (give details about how Karen acted towards OP whose husband is faculty at the school) towards others if she wants to be able to visit the school or attend Karen Junior's graduation. And also to remind Karen Junior that this type of behavior towards others is not a good example of the type of behavior that a true professional displays no matter who it is they are dealing with.
Story 3: Let's call OP's brother Karen Junior or KJ, OP's mom, will be Karen, OP's dad will be Chad, OP is OP, the birthday kid will be BK and BK's mom will be BM.
Given that BM knew what Karen Junior was like should have made it clear to Karen & Chad that Karen Junior was not invited to the party which was going to be only for the friends of BK, so they could just drop OP off at the party if OP was coming. And if I was BM I would have talked to every parent in the area about KJ's rampage and how Karen & Chad reacted and how they tried to make the party events ALL about KJ, then I'd encourage them to not invite Karen/Chad/KJ to anything and even go as far as to send an uninvite notice to them that said that they were NOT allowed at the event or on the property the event was happening on and that police would be called to remove them if they came.
And given how the parents are raising KJ a call to CPS might be warranted as they are just enabling KJ's bad behavior that will lead to worse behaviors as she gets older which could lead to some very serious consequences when he turns 16 and does similar or worse things.
Story 4: Glad that people learned and just not invited OP's brother Karen Junior that spoiled demonic crotch spawn of Karen & Chad. And given KJ's violent outbursts, things are only going to get worse with him without some almost extreme interventions. Parents might have to just let him do something and have the cops take him away or call CPS and say that he is beyond their ability to safely care for and ask for help. The sad thing is that this is all the parent's fault for allowing Karen Junior to do whatever he wanted with no consequences and now they will reap what they have sown and Karen Junior is going to either end up in jail or a locked facility or in some group home. But at least OP got out of there and hopefully they go no contact with their immediate family as Karen & Chad will probably ask OP to help with his brother or even take over his care as "OP owes us for raising him"
Story 4: heard this a couple times before and I still feel bad for OP.
I happen to live with an autistic young man . He is working and he is the kindest and sweetest man you'd want to meet. His mother raised him right not spoiling him or having to make any excuses for any bad behaviors. He was taught responsibility for his own choices. He has a woman friend he's dating. Sure he has some problems like not always knowing what's appropriate to talk about in conversations sometimes. What really strikes me the most is his child like innocents. For you gamers out there he's also one heck of a video game player. He doesn't let autism define him and doesn't make excuses himself. That's the difference between having a good parent and a bad one always making excuses for the child and never teaching them or correcting them when needed.
Birthday Story: If I were the father of the Birthday boy, the moment OP's brother shoved the cake into my son, I'd have called the Police and Pressed Charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon (the candles were still burning) and Destruction of Property against both the Brat AND his Parents (I'd leave OP out of the Charges as he didn't do anything wrong)...
THEN I'd call a Lawyer and Sue OP's Parents for the cost of the cake, the cost of cleaning everything (table cloth, seat cushions, my son's clothes etc.), the Mental and Emotional Damage caused to my Son when a burning candle covered cake hit him, his Medical Bills if he got burned by the candles and Punitive Damages...
After THAT, I'd file for a Restraining Order (No Contact and Stay Off My Property) against the Destructive Brat and his Parents...the RO would specifically EXCLUDE OP as he did nothing wrong, though if he carried any messages from his Parents or Brat Brother, then THEY get Arrested for Violating the RO...
I had an entitled cousin like op brother (he wasn't autistic, he was a miracle baby) and even the police chief had to call my cousin's wife to give some rules to the boy, but she didn't care. I thopught he would be a loser or worst when grow up, but when his adoptive older brother went to a big city to go to better a better school, he went too and the parents stayed on the countryside. Once he had to live by himself with his brother when was a teen, his life changed. Now he is a doctor and I'm still surprised with this outcome.
Story 3 & 4: I have a son with autism. He was diagnosed at age 3. Is non-verbal and as of this writing, is 30 yrs old but with the cognitive level of an 8 yr old. He is also on 2 anti-seizure meds (started having seizures at age 9). Fortunately, we had him in special ed classes through out his school years, and being on those meds, which ironically were originally created as mood stabilizers, I think they have helped him stay on an even keel, emotionally. My late husband and I made darned sure that from childhood, that he knew right from wrong; what was bad behavior and what was good. He still has occasional angry moods, but I also learned from years back how not to escalate/enable those situations.
S3&4: that kevin(raised by a karen) is in for a rude awakening when he hits high school and will most likely spend most of his junior year getting stuffed into lockers because noone can tolerate the little shit
that’s if he’s lucky, because some people would ‘thump’ on him and give him an “Attitude Adjustment”
@@JohnH20111 well to be honest, that "attitude adjustment" is pretty much the only thing that will open the eyes of that entitled nightmare brat and make him rethink his actions and make him see that actions has consequences because his parents sure as fuck didnt teach him that. heck if i even did a fraction of what that kid did when i was a kid i wouldnt be able to sit for a month and would be blowing soap bubbles for just as long
The 2nd half of this is just so heartbreaking. The storyteller and his brother have been so deeply wronged by their parents.
That bag's nice. I can actually see the karen's Pov. I'd steal that bag.
(Sarcasm, obviously, theft is never ok)
Story 1-A "VISCOUS storm"? Raining syrup, perhaps. Must have been really thick weather, eh?😂
Story 3: oh that poor poor kid, i feel for this boy on spiritual level, my cousin tried to steal the spotlight from my birthday when I was 9, and yes also destroyed my cake, but he threw it across the room and on my parent's leather couch, i repayed him in kind, the year after on my 10th birthday
Story 3: that's not Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), thats Anti Social personality Disorder (ASPD) and possibly Narcissistic Personality Disorder! Big difference between being autistic and being a sociopath! Those of us with high-functioning autism used to be labled as "shy" because we typically are uncomfortable in social situations while this brat has to be the center of attention like a certain Malignant Narcissist who's currently under indictment...
Yes same here.
Brandon.
There could be an overlap, but even a child who is not considered neurodivergent who is NEVER told "no" and made the center of the universe, is going to turn out to be a monster, or at least someone who will be incapable of functioning outside the family unit because no one else is going to put up with that crap. He was not "handicapped" by whatever condition he might or might not have had. He was handicapped by his terrible parents, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the brother who was treated like a second banana all his life doesn't have some emotional damage he now needs to deal with. Very sad.
The "expensive" bag story: uhm... Does that bag look BRAND NEW to you?
Enabled child: So, what's going to happen to this 'special' child when he's an adult and 'mommy and daddy' aren't around to excuse his behavior or clean up his mess!
Having a child on the spectrum doesn't give that child a license to act that way! -- mother of twins on the spectrum who were never spoiled, graduated from high school, been fully employed, hoping to get into the military, and very self sufficient!
Parents in 3rd/4th story: Brother cant ruin op's birthday party if there is no party....See we can be smart.....why isnt everyone telling us that is the best idea ever?
Funny thing I thought about as I heard the story was that my own parents pretty much stopped throwing birthday parties before we even got out of elementary school. After that, it was usually just dinner at the restaurant of the bday person's choice, maybe a present or two, and a dessert (By age 12 I preferred Texas Refrigerator Pie over cake). Of course, I wasn't all that social to begin with so the only appeal parties had was the number of presents. I never asked my brother what he thought about the issue.
Story 3 and 4. Look, Autism is a spectrum, and their are kids who have it who will never progress past a certain age mentally. But its still not an excuse to enable behavior. The parents were hurting their favorite child by enabling and encouraging that behavior. Honestly, so disgusting
13:26 No excuse to not discipline your child. They will learn it the hardest way possible, if you don't catch these behaviors at young age!!
I have high functioning autism and I cannot believw how these parents went on. If we need "special" treatment, this is not it. I know fully well that someones birthay is not about me, and lots of other similar situations. This due to my parents raising me right, along with me trying to learn social cues on my own. Of course there were much struggle and problems growing up, but never the "get everything I want" attitude, and no enabling. Heck, when I was in church for my little brother's baptism I fell and hit my head in one of the pews. Did not scream, did not say a word. Because I KNEW that you do not scream in church. If I could be taught that as a four year old, without even having a diagnose yet, then this guy in his teens? clearly could have been taught to not ruin birthday parties.
Story 3: When I heard the brother was the "golden child," I immediately knew where this story was going. I am also slightly autistic, but I know what's right and wrong. I wasn't given everything I wanted, but that's okay. I learned to be happy with what I had, and I know how to function in society.
Story 4: I love how the parents now have to deal with what they created.
I’m shocked the aunt was still invited to birthday parties after the first time she chastised the autistic child’s “Karents”
My oldest child is on the spectrum. Nobody can really tell unless they try to get him to be social. He seems like a normal neurotypical child. He knows better than to act like the kid in the story.
I am also on the spectrum too. Like wtf is wrong with these parents.
Ill never get why people refuse to press charges all the time, like damn grow a pair.
ALWAYS PRESS CHARGES !!!!!!!
that’s the only way that karens are going to learn !!!!
@@JohnH20111 exactly, couldn't agree more. They think they're invincible until they get put in those shiny bracelets.
Story 3/4. I think I remember this episode of South Park. One kids birthday party, and Cartman has to get a gift from his mother for every gift the birthday boy received. I can only imagine the horror the brother’s own parties must have been like. Not to mention if the OP had tried to blow out the brother’s candles first. “Mom, you can always relight them and do it again, right?”
I’m autistic and I would never want people to excuse my behavior if I was inappropriate, I would want people to tell me and educate me, and I would want to apologize. people with disabilities should be held accountable. We don’t want to be demend so you should hold us to the same standard as other people. My mom and the rest of my family always made sure to describe and help me with social expectations and clearly his parents did not do that and just spoiled him and never gave him a nice controlled environment.
What would have been funny would have been if the aunt had shown up on the second birthday after they gave him an undecorated cake...with a decorating kit to put his name all over the thing.
6:09 "Looked Way Too Poor To Afford A Bag Like This"?? Not Everybody needs to afford things. Second-Hand stores sell those same things. All. The. Time. Loser Karen has to afford stuff?? LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For me, who is autistic myself, the parents' behavior is absolutely incomprehensible. As a parent, it is your job to guide the child so that he or she learns to control his or her behavior. As parents, it is not our job to spoil our children completely, but rather to prepare them as best as possible for this world and its people.
I know all about a spoiled kid, my stepson sounds just like this brat, this was all on his mother, my stbxw, yeah, we divorced... How could this mother expect to allow her brat to blow out the candles FIRST? WTF , rotten parents!
My daughter is adhd and autistic and now 16. She was taught right from wrong. She was taught to share and that her condition should never be used as an excuse for what you want. She is learning to be an adult, and the only thing that gives her condition away are the few triggers she can not cope with. She is caring and worked hard to understand others and their feelings. She would never embarrass our family with bad behaviour and even apologise when she is triggered and make others uncomfortable.
Autism is never an excuse to parent your kid. My kid has autism and I do not allow him to act out in public. He is 8 now, and he does quite well because I have worked with him from a young age. These parents deserve everything they for treating the kid like he is more special than everyone else.
Story 1: OP played Karen right into her hands.
Story 2: Some people think they're entitled to everything they see. She knew she would've got into big trouble when the police pulled out the contents which clearly belonged to OP.
Story 3: OP should've demanded the same at his brother's birthday. See how he likes it.
Story 4: It was too litle, too late by the OPs parents. They will reap what they sow.
Story 2:
Not worth it! Why would anyone fight over that bag?
And anyone who is stupid enough to pay thousands of dollars for a bag, I just can’t. A fool and their money shall soon part.
The last 2 stories, I can almost see my 15 yr old grandson…his brother is 2 yrs older & my son & ex dil think he’s autistic, but he’s never been diagnosed. He is the sweetest teenager you can imagine. Don’t get me wrong, the 15 yr old can be sweet, but he is SPOILED!! The other grandmother would give the youngest one gifts on his brother’s birthday, so he didn’t feel left out & only did it once or twice for the oldest. The boy’s mother always made the older one get off whatever game system because the youngest wanted to play, when the oldest had only played about 15 minutes!! She has also basically abandoned the boy’s, the oldest wants nothing to do with her & thinks of the stepmom as mom. The youngest, knowing & witnessing what she’s done & said, still gives her chance after chance.
Dark Fluff, home made burritos, and a cold cherry coke, what a good way to relax after a rough day at work.
Mulberry tree story: I like the commenters idea about the wine market going belly up.
High functioning autistic children CAN be taught proper behaviors, but it does take more work. But if you don't put in that work you wind up with a spoiled brat that has no friends that also tends to be very destructive when he/she doesn't get their way.
Parents really need to be able to teach their kids that not everything is about them. Years ago when I worked retail, I was helping a mom with getting her older son boots. Here’s the kicker: the older son had no say in the style nor color of the cowboy boots. The younger son did. Why? Because the older son was going to break them in, gently, for his younger brother. And since they would go to the younger brother later, he was the one choosing. The older brother couldn’t even make suggestions. He looked so sad while his brother was as happy as a clam. Each pair, the older brother kept saying that he didn’t like what his brother was picking out, but his mom told him to “just hush”. The older brother looked about ready to cry. I felt terrible for him. I nearly called a manager to intervene. Really should have. The older brother was then told, after the mom and the younger brother had picked a pair, to remember that he had to be careful and wear them gently and to clean them when they got dirty. That poor kid. His younger brother has got to be so entitled now (he’s got to be around 20, now. He was somewhere around 10 back then). Hopefully the older one has cut his mom and brother out of his life.
I too am deeply shocked by these parents actions. I have seen favoritism of younger siblings due to them acting up but no one would have thought of going that far. My son is also a high functioning autistic and we have always given him lots of attention, but as for rewards of good behavior. As a result he is the favorite of the teachers, staff, other adults. He is the easiest kid I have had to raise just by starting off firm yet supportive of good behavior with him and maintaining it. Every parent I know with autistic kids have had the same experience. When that boy from the story ends up in jail he should sue his parents.
I hope op disowned his crap parents and brother? I sure would!
The OP from story #3 & 4 has a whole saga of bad parents/bad brother incidents. That one is just so insane. Actually, these are all so insane.
As a kid I remember,being at other people’s birthday parties and feeling incredibly anxious whenever it came time for the cake. I remember wanting to leave the room and feeling incredibly embarrassed and overwhelmed when the singing was happening. Not my birthday but someone else’s.
I don’t remember having birthday parties as a kid and that was fine with me. I think I once did have a few school friends that had a meal with my family at a Chinese restaurant, and there was a sort of cake, but no singing happened thank goodness 😳
I’m not sure what or why I felt this way but I just remember it being a feeling that I didn’t like. I never understood why someone else’s family and friends singing happy birthday made ME feel embarrassed and anxious.
I’ve never been able to figure it out.
I am on the autism spectrum. My parents taught me right from wrong and didn't spoil me. OP's parents in that story had no excuse for what they did to their son.
I'd love to see said parents explain to the judge that their son didn't deserve to go to prison because he's 'autistic'. Remember, if you don't straighten your kids out, the world will do it for you, and the world will not be as kind.
As some one who is autistic i found that embarrassing. I never behaved like that and I wasn't perfect. The fact is a parent is there to be a bloody influence and raise the child in the right way. They enabled him and his likely to land up jailed unless someone actually tells him to grow the duck up. disgusting parents.
I was imagining an expensive bougie bag.
The real life Harry Potter with his birthday.
Non autistic children I can understand the allowance. High functioning autism, they just used as an excuse to coddle him. OP’s brother knew exactly what he was doing. I’m sure when he got called out on his behavior by anyone unfamiliar with autism, he would use it as an excuse. Those parents reaped what they sowed.
Last stories - This is something that parents never think about when indulging a child; that kid grows up and - usually it is a son - during his teen years he will have raging hormones and be entitled. That kid can do so much damage to property AND persons, and no one can control them at that point. Maybe OP can help his folks with tuition to military school - it sounds like just what this kid needs!
S3 and 4: I have autism but my parents NEVER spoiled me rotten and taught me that the world doesn’t revolve around me
As someone who is slightly autistic myself, I am so very glad I learnt the lesson of consequences very early on in my life, and I can look back at the tough parenting (and other things kid me had to go through) as important life lessons that helped me become the adult I am today.
Story 2: the snobbery and insults of the entitled customer aside, I've got plenty of bags/purses (both designer and not) that are pretty heavy before I even put anything in them.
I'm not trying to flex or brag about my designer bags, my Coach purses are bought when both Coach and Macy's have their mega sales. My Guess bags are also bought on sale.
Same goes for the matching wallets, because I LOVE matching wallets AND mega sales. 😂😂
Heard story 3 a few times now, on many different channels- lol I enjoy it every time (yay to the aunt!!) I remember there being a final update where the older brother talks honestly to the little brother about how life won't be like that when he's a grownup, he doesn't have any friends, what's he going to do for a job, what will happen to him when their parents die?? And the little bro goes all quiet, he'd obviously never thought ahead at all, and that little talk helped him a lot (lol obviously there was a lot of backsliding but at least he started to start trying, babysteps babysteps😂🤷♀️). The big brother was a better parent to that kid than his actual parents were!!
Story 3: My son is on the spectrum & has ADHD however my son would have NEVER acted in a way even close to OP's sibling! OP's parents are horrible awful disgusting people! It is up to the parents to teach their children right from wrong! If the child is old enough to attend school & gets invited to a bday party then it's 1000% the parents responsibility to teach their child right from! I have 2 friends who's children are on the spectrum & will never mature beyond the age of 10 but both children know how to behave are there blow ups? Of course but as parents we step up & act like parents! Children have disabilities that's just life however just because your crotch goblin is on the spectrum or has some other disability does NOT mean the world revolves around "karen" or her crotch goblin! I wonder if a child who was not only on the spectrum but also physically disabled would they allow that child to blow out candles on their child's cake? I'm going to say NO FUCKING WAY
