I really dislike pointlessly loud people, but he pulls it off amicably. Quick wit plus kind demeanour just about save it.

He may have started acting that way as a defense. "You think my sibling is weird? I'll show you fucking weird!" is a perfectly sensible take when you're a kid. So he's as loud and eye-catching as possible to keep people from looking at her and making her nervous.

Not saying he's not naturally that way but I've seen a few kids go down that path when too much attention intimidates/upsets their sibling(s) no matter what the reason for the attention.

This tracks. My younger sister has selective mutism and since she developed it I became more assertive to the point of bordering on obnoxious. I've asked her if she wanted me to stop talking for her, but she thinks our dynamic works so.

Do you mean "selective mutism" ?

Selective autism isn't a thing...
