So i came here yesterday to ask for some advice on my situation and I thought I might as well leave a update
So I want to start out by saying that I was wrong and I want to apologize to anyone I may have hurt with my last question. It was wrong of me to defend my brothers actions and I wish I could have seen that at the time but thats the past.
I went to my parents and talked to them and they have begun to see that they were wrong too. Me and my dad went last night and apologized to the shop owner for our actions and how we treated him and the victim of my brother and that we agree with his ban. The owner was genuinely happy with us for this so i'm glad we did that. The girl who who my brother touched was also at the store and despite what many of you said I felt that I needed to apologize to her too because she deserved it after my actions and she thanked me for it. My parents are now looking into different options to deal with my brother including therapy and other programs.
I really want to end this by saying thank you for helping me learn I was wrong. Like I said I'm sorry if i hurt anyone with my post, I didn't mean to do that but it was wrong of me too. This has been a learning experience for me and I hope that I can become a better person because of it.

“Thank you for helping me learn that I was wrong.”
I think this must be the first time anyone has said this in the history of the internet, right???

I just got done being mad about the first one and now I'm... happy? What a roller coaster LAOP has taken me on.

I'm really proud of OP and family for recognizing the brother is at fault. I don't know where OP lives, but they should look into local autism advocacy groups or programs that can help the brother learn more appropriate social boundaries and cues, as well as help him be able to live more independently. These have been a godsend at teaching my autistic sister a whole lot of little things that we couldn't quite get through to her, but that professionals and being in a group with her peers were.
