She put all of my 10 year old autistic brother’s presents into one box so that he thinks he only gets one gift for Christmas “to make him mad”. He is going to sperg out. This is actually going to ruin the whole day holy fuck. This feels like if I knew about 9/11 the day before 9/11 and I was tied up in a bathroom on the 80th floor of one of the towers. Is my mom retarded?

He's gonna break something. I know he is. My parents tried this out with me one time and I nearly killed then out of stress
 
why though? is she doing it for the vine or something?
I guess she thinks it’ll be funny but if she thought about it for more than two seconds she’d realize it’s going to ruin his whole Christmas. He’s been super excited about his presents and he’s just going to start crying and try to run away. He’s not going to understand that it’s still the same amount of presents in one box, he used to not even eat cookies when they were “broken”.

ok my first thought is that you can't keep coddling him forever, he's gonna have to learn to eat broken cookies eventually, but this isn't the way to do it either and i guess she's just trying to be funny and teach him a lesson at the same time but it's kinda going into the deep end

Well yeah, the weird thing is she’s always kind of coddled him. She’s never listened to me when I told her she can’t just let him hit my sister and I and not get in trouble. Suddenly now she’s okay with messing with him I guess. It’s just bizarre.

it's just bad parenting in action tbh

Does your autistic brother have a personal therapist/psychiatrist or anything of the like
 
Do you think telling him (in a vague way) beforehand would have an even worse outcome? I'm sure you've already thought about it, but to me a "surprise" getting spoiled and some disappointment is vastly preferable compared to the nuclear meltdown you're worried about
 
Okay. I don't really know what else to say other than that he's gonna ruin the day for everybody. Try talking about it to your mom again, I don't even know what compels a parent to do this to an autistic child especially if they know how they act

it's not worth it tbh he might sperg out at her and she might also get into trouble with her mom i would just let her reap what she sows

I’m not a big Christmas guy but what’s wrong with getting one present? I’d imagine getting a PS5 and other shit would cost a lot. Regardless, best of luck to you. Hope everything works out tomorrow [wholesome]
