My kids are twins, now 15 years old and my son is severely autistic. Our daughter went through a period, where she "hated" everything and everyone. She is overall a nice girl, very smart and sensitive, but having a brother with a disability was and still is hard for her. She told me at some point, that she thought we loved our son more, when they were little, mainly because so much of our time went towards him. She still resents it, when he is loud or when we can't do something she wants to do, because of him. Basically I don't have that much advice for you, but a lot of empathy! Just make sure you give her the attention she needs, when you have the time and listen to her. she needs to know she can come to you and talk about how she feels. Good luck! ↑ |
