Before anyone asks, i'm not using Autism as an insult (because it really isn't.)
My brother, ill call him Derek, older, and has high functioning Autism.
I'm 14, and i have ADHD
My brother being favorite has been happening for a really long time and their only excuse is "We don't love him more than you, get over it."
examples-
I have severe ADHD, its really hard for me to focus, and i'm not allowed to take any type of medication for it, and i just get called lazy.
My brother has medication for almost everything.
My punishments can go severe when he never gets punished for A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
I had to beg to see a therapist at one point because it was getting really bad, and they did it for him happily.
My self harm seems to be the talk for all of them.
for family to talk about them. They even go as far as grabbing and looking at them, stroking them weirdly.
My problems are always minimized, regardless. I was so sick i couldn't stand up. at all. I almost had to go to the ER from non stop throwing up stomach acid, but they decided not to because hospital bills are too expensive.My brother hurt ankle and they ran to the doctors stressed about it, and they just said he needed to stay off it.
my brother can just cough and ask if he needs a Motrin and tells him to take a few, while i have to beg for anything to help me and they started hiding medicine as if i'm taking it in secret everyday.
I know its allot but, does anyone have at least a little advice for me???
Any help??

You're wasting a lot of time and spending a lot of energy on resenting your brother. This sibling rivalry has to stop, it's not healthy. Live your life without comparing it to his.
When you need something from your parents, ask for it. If you don't get it, ask why, and try to reason with them if they are being unreasonable. Advocate for yourself with thoughtful, factual arguments, not anger or self-pity. This is about your parent's behavior, or at least your perception of it, and it's not your brother's fault.
vro u has to got to has to am gi away to run foster they are mean so wait til and til theuy rue nice ok?
it's due to guilt , you need to pity your parents not resent them they have a handicapped child and are unable to forgive themselves for creating it , this guilt is common among parents of such children
Parents, not parent's. It's simply plural, not possessive so just add the letter "s." Hope that helps!
I'm sorry, don't think it is possible to get through to your parents. The only thing I can tell you as that my sibling was "The golden child", and I was "The scapegoat". As an adult I can see they did him no favors as he is a dribbling idiot! I am still working on healing but I am getting there and award of things that my sibling will never know.
