<p>I was just wondering what I should put down for my autistic brother under siblings. I want to put him down because when I apply for financial aid they take into account how many siblings you have but it's required to put down what grade he graduated at but because of his autism I have no idea what to put.</p>
<p>Are you asking how to fill out the family>sibling section of the common app? Put his age and how far he has actually gotten in school. Put your best guess of the date you expect he’ll graduate, if that’s required. If you don’t think he’ll graduate and a date is required, put a date that is past the date you expect you’ll graduate from the college.</p>
<p>My brother has not been through K-8 because he went to a special school for autistic people so I don’t know what to put for that.</p>
<p>The dropdown list does not provide an option that is appropriate to your circumstance. But, your common app response with respect to him will not affect your admissions decision. So, it doesn’t make much difference how you deal with this. You could select the grade he would be in if he had stayed in mainstream public school, or the lowest grade available, or whatever you feel comfortable with.</p>
<p>All right thanks I think I will just put he graduated high school and that’s it.</p>
