Do you face stigma (or discrimination) in your family due to a mental illness that you have or that someone you love has?

And if you’ve made strides in reversing that stigma, how have you done so?

My family is very ignorant when it comes to dealing with my Autism. Family gatherings (which happen quite frequently) are super uncomfortable for me and nobody seems to get why, despite me explaining it over and over again. My older brother won't even acknowledge me having Asperger's, he just thinks I'm "being weird" on purpose.
