I don't want them to think that I love him more because he has autism. It's not true - I don't love him more, but he may need more attention sometimes. I would expect a child to have trouble understanding that, but not an adult. That's why I am annoyed by ADULT siblings.

What ...Maybe we aren't reading the same thing. What I'm talking about is the sibling whom the author quotes. They are both siblings but what I'm referring to is the article the author refers to, “Autism Can Have Large Effects, Good And Bad, On A Disabled Child’s Siblings” written by Ranit Mishori. It says "Mishori's recollections are mostly negative. Mishori laments the loss of 'normal' sibling rivalry, because 'it can never be a fair fight'. Mishori speaks of 'being embarrassed to bring friends home'. Also, in the article to which I linked it says "Mishori talked about having “the sense that you come second to your parents, because so much of their time and energy is focused on the one with autism.” That seems, to me, to be complainy about her parents and I wonder how that makes them feel. <br /><br />Is that clearer? Were we talking about the same article? My guess is no.

That's all. I don't see any "crying" or blaming. The sibling never says anything terribly melodramatic, really. <br /><br />As for "how must that make their parents feel"... she does give credit to her parents for making things fair and trying to let her be a child.<br /><br />I'm not sure we even read the same post. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong one or something, that would explain the confusion I'm having xD<br />Pyrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038442176086599904noreply@blogger.com
