Please do not give me shit for using Facebook. It's how I keep in touch with relatives, most of whom live abroad, and my brother, who is has ASD prefers to communicate with me that way.
I would rather not use it, but I would prefer keeping in touch with my brother.
That said, I would not let AI keep in touch with my brother for me.
I take it you've already expressed to him that you miss feeling like you're actually communicating with him? I doubt it'd be a magic pill that would solve the issue away, but it would likely help if he could interiorize that his loved ones appreciate him for being who he is. I wish things get better for you.
Oh definitely, he knows, but I also know and understand his perspective. For him, masking and unmasking when texting his boss then texting his family is exhausting and incredibly emotionally taxing. While I don't meet the clinical criteria for an autism diagnosis, I do struggle with a few of the same things my brother and dad struggle with, particularly around processing, emotional regulation, and burn out, so I've been in his shoes where I know I'm doing something the hard way, or I know we'd all be happier with another method, but changing the task or changing the routine or process is even harder, even though the process I'd be changing to would be easier and better, initiating that change feels like an insurmountable climb.
Besides, my dad had to try and put up with my hyperlexia when I was growing up - before I had the emotional maturity to understand my dad's needs, I can't even imagine how much he suffered from my frustrating communication style being imposed on him. Now he's older, it's my turn to suffer ๐ (that is, it's my turn to let him explore the ways he wants to communicate, even if it's not what I want.)
