Earlier this year, this twenty-six-year-old woman’s mother decided to adopt a fifteen-year-old boy with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). And he has brought so much light and positivity to her family.
“He is just a ray of hope and happiness and radiates it everywhere he goes. I am so lucky to be his big sister,” she explained.
Unfortunately, though, her brother does not really have any friends at the moment. And since she really wanted him to be able to socialize and have fun, she decided to ask her fiancé to take her brother on a “guy’s day” out.
So, this past Saturday, her fiancé and her fiancé’s friend finally took her brother to the movie theatre.
Now, she obviously was not present at the theatre. But, after she learned that her fiancé and his friend basically humiliated her brother, she was infuriated.
It all began when her brother made a comment about being nervous about the movie. Well, he was worried that he would have to go to the bathroom during the movie since he had drunk a lot of soda during lunch.
Then, her fiancé and his friend decided to jokingly tell her brother that he should just pee on the movie theatre’s floor.
“It’s much more convenient, and you’re actually helping the theatre staff by giving them some stuff to do,” her fiancé added.
Her brother did not pick up on any kind of joke, though, and took the idea entirely seriously. So, midway through the movie, her brother actually got down on his knees, pulled the front of his shorts down, and went to the bathroom in the middle of the theatre.

Thankfully, there was no one sitting near them. So, according to her fiancé, no other theatergoers actually saw what happened.
But her fiancé and his friend still felt horrible for inadvertently deceiving her brother. And she was really annoyed with them.
Nonetheless, she had to focus on her brother first and sat him down to detail how what happened was never okay.
“I tactfully explained how that behavior is abhorrent and antisocial and should never feel repeated,” she recalled.
“And he felt insanely stupid and got so embarrassed that he started crying.”
Plus, ever since then, her brother has refused to talk to her fiancé and will not leave the house except for school.
So, she has been left feeling totally annoyed and upset at her fiancé. Her fiancé also feels absolutely terrible, and her brother still feels really humiliated and betrayed.
And now, she is just wondering what the heck can even be done to reconcile this situation and make her brother feel better.
How would you feel if your partner did that to your brother? Moving forward, do you think that education and open communication could help prevent these problems in the future? What else could help fix this situation?
