He's just started college, film school, and he is haveing a very difficult time. Someone on his floor asked him if he had a stroke because of the way he talks (he uses "proper" english). He gets very uncomfortable being alone with people because he fears they will desire him sexually and take a sexual advance toward him. Although he knows this is irrational, he can't help but think it. He is very afraid of and made uncomfortable by the idea of sex. My mom thinks maybe he wants to be a transvestite. When he was young he always wanted to be a girl. We also wonder if he has been molested because where can these fears come from? But perhaps they are a manifestation of his psyche. His roommate had sex with someone last night in their room and my brother had no where to go. I feel so bad for him and I am oh so very worried about him. He is one of those people who is eccentric and off center. And it is definitely not appreciated at the large prestigious college he and I attend. My mom thinks he has aspergers. I really want to find out what's wrong with him. He's really depressed. And I hope he's OK. hE'S my brother and I love him and seeing him in such a state really upsets me. He doesn't want to take medicine. I hope he gets the help that he needs soon. I'm glad he has a p doc appt. thursday.
