Picking up toys is not going to kill you, it is called helping out. If your brother has autism I am sure your Mom has her hand full with him and two daughters. Does she cook for you, wash your clothes, buy your clothes. do your parents pay the bills so you have a place to live, food to eat, a bed to sleep in. Do your parents drive you to your friends and other places you want to go. They ask you to help some by cleaning up after your brother and sister. Sounds like a pretty good trade off for what you are getting. If you don't like the arrangement you could always go get a job and see if you could do it on your own. Or maybe you would like to trade places with your brother and be autistic, that would be better than picking up some toys. Grow up, you have it made.

Being part of a family means helping each other.Instead of fussing about the problem why don't you make a game of picking up the toys, your brother and sister may want to join in the fun. If that doesn't work just pick them up like your parents asked.There have been and will be plenty of times someone else will have to pick up after you.It all works out in the end.

Although I agree that kids of that age should be able to clean up after themselves, I think you are being a bit selfish in your thinking. You're a family, you are supposed to do things for each other. You act like NOONE EVER does ANYTHING for you. Try to remember all the things your parents do (and have done thru the years) for you , and you may find that picking up some toys for your mom isn't such a big deal.

Get to huge laundry baskets and throw their respective stuff in each of them and promptly put the basket in their room.
Your parents are typically using you as a maid, which is not fair because it wasn't YOU that had the brats. But suck it up and never do this to your own off spring.

You are doing it the wrong way. As the elder, you get to ensure that the little one's clean up. Not clean up after them.
You are the boss. Not the maid. If you don't abuse it and know where the limits are, you should be able to change the relationship. (((If you clean it up, you lock it up))).
