Someone answered with kindness...

Not everyone you meet will understand that people with autism are more than just persons with special needs. You cannot drain your energy in making them understand and thats okay. Just focus on the good and ignore the ignorants. You love your brother and understand which is what your brother needs. He doesnt need the validation of the entire world. Do activities with your brother that you both can enjoy and just be happy!!
