What To Do If Brother Is Autistic And Has Nasty Tendencies Of Nakedness?

I have a brother who is autistic- he can not talk and he behaves abnormally sometimes and has reasoning problems. I've been kind of affected by his behavior (hes senior to me) because he's done some really nasty things that girls at my age or were at my age shouldnt have been exposed to if you know what I mean. It upsets me greatly and I often felt like just going away somewhere so that I wouldnt have to be exposed to his tendencies of nakedness and other things (disgusting). Any way I would just like to know what I should do because I know its psychological.
