As Roel wrote before me, having a brother with Autism is hard.  Now that I'm in college, I get to see him only when I come home.  Most of the time, he is a very happy camper; however, there have been times where I have to help my parents restrain him when his autism gets too big.  He seems to understand that I am away in college studying.  He, however, always makes me feel at home by uttering "Shut Up, Ruben" when I'm home or on the phone with my parents.  Sibling love!!!!
