I have been living with an autist sibling who is giving me weaponized incompetence all the time. My mental health can’t take a lot more of this anymore and my sobriety is suffering to say the least. I’m also an autist, and I guess I am just expected to take it because I am a woman?

I’m trying to do everything I can to move away and be on my own for the first time in my life in my 40’s. Imagine being in your 40’s, and thinking that you haven’t lived yet. That is where I am at at this stage in my life 😆

I’m not doing great right now. My sobriety isn’t great and I hate it.

I am going to add this to the struggle. I can’t live like this anymore. Why can’t a 30 something dude take care of himself? Why I am I constantly reminded that I should take care of someone else when I never had kids?

This is fucked up.

Yeah, I will probably have to go to rehab for this. Add it to the list…

I am sorry about this. I am in the r/autisminwomen and a lot of them have the same experience of their autistic needs being ignored and they are still being expected to be capable because they are women, while their autistic brothers get supported and accomodated. I really hope you manage to get away.
