What did my eight year old sister do? Goodness, it’s like the world hates her. Even I find myself being angry at her a bunch. She’s autistic, and hasn’t been receiving help – instead, she’s on her phone most times, anxious about stuff (including when our parents yell) and nothing I can do.
How do I help her? I’m so sorry for her.
Edit: and of course my dad got mad at her again, told her to shut up and not cry over him angry at her. Jesus. I wish I could help. I can’t. I’m stuck.

Your love and concern for your sister already makes a huge difference. She’s not alone she has you, and that matters. Try to learn more about autism and what helps her feel safe and understood. Even small things being patient, listening, or creating calm spaces can bring her comfort. Keep being her gentle support. She may not say it, but your presence means the world.
