My 12 year old (going into 7th grade) brother has mild autism (so it's somewhat obvious, but it's not so bad that he can't live or work in the future). He also can't read beyond a 1st grade level (he can't comprehend books or TV shows/movies at all) and is at a 4th grade level in math. This may or may not be a result of the autism. He just isn't really interested in school at all. My mom helps him, but my parents also don't really read and my dad doesn't care about school performance. They both have masters in engineering and I do very well in school, though, so it's not just in the family. I'm very concerned about his future, since he doesn't really do anything other than playing brainrot games on Roblox and I don't think it's going to naturally get better as he gets older. He just started making somewhat normal conversation this year. This summer, I'll have some time outside of college apps and my summer program to tutor him, so I want to try and get him to at least a 4th grade level in English before he starts middle school. What should I do?

So a month or two ago, I (16F) made an effort to stop pulling my lashes after I realized I was bald. I did still pull sometimes, but much less than before. Now, I mostly have a full lash line again! I also completely stopped pulling my hair or brows, which was much easier because I rarely ever pulled them anyway. I'm pretty proud of this, since I've had trich since I was 6 years old (it was because of the eyelash wishing story).

However, I can't stop trying to intentionally pull out my eyelashes near my inner eye. I have long/thick lashes, so the ones near my inner eye touch my eyeball or irritate me often. I don't actually believe in wishing on lashes anymore, but I still do blow them and make a wish just for fun, since I might as well after I already pulled them out. How do I stop?
