Your sister is not your concern now. You can't live with her anyway.
I'm sorry she got all the attention, and that you feel in a sense abandoned and pushed out (hope I'm not putting words in your mouth).
We don't always get to choose our battles, and this is one that was thrust on you.
PLEASE contact Connexions and your school regarding any possible financial aid, but it's probably too late for this fall, only a month away.

Okay I will do, they haven't helped much before but okay.

I don't understand some of your terminology.. a "house sit"? And how does your sister "get recently made autistic"? Recently diagnosed AS autistic? And she attempted to kill you and she is still allowed to live in the home. Something is missing from this entire scenario. Someone with violent tendencies like that would usually be institutionalized. Not allowed to live at home if she were that much of a physical threat. You are still a dependent of your mother. And a minor. Like I say, something is wrong with this story.

@Handyman. You too, eh ? I think OP is in the UK, lots of better agencies there then in the US and socialized medicine so no money issues on getting help that way either. Yes, I agree with you. It doesn't add up to anything plausible, but probably would if we knew the whole story outright.

Some children with autism do have bad temper tantrums that can stick with them as they get older and can make those young people almost unmanageable. I wonder if that's the case with her sister. Yes, we need to know more.

I got that impression too that the temper tantrums are one of the big issues. She could be having them worse with the OP around.
