    I’m 21 years old, my older sibling’s taking care of me mostly, but I’m NOT even sure if I see them as a parental figure. My older sibling and I go outside sometimes (mostly for long walks and such - I really like the long walks), and we both actually have autism.

    Although I strongly disagree with my older sibling Jeb when it comes to social issues and such (NOT to mention they called themself “socially liberal, but fiscally conservative”), they still had to take care of me and such. I’ve gotten used to living with my sibling as my caretaker.

        My older sibling’s very worried about me, especially if I go outside (because what if there’s some bad people who wants to get me (like in my case ICE Agents given what happened in Minnesota)?). One time when I was a toddler, I tried following a school bus that my older sibling rode on when they went to school, but I got lost, so I had to be driven back home through a police car. That led to that safety thing being put into place.
