What's it like to have a sibling with autism?
I watched a video with a similar title today, and, well. I did okay. Head nodding, yup, agreeing, and then: tears. Watch it and see why...
The AOL video is titled: 'These Kids Share What It's Really Like to Have a Sibling With Autism.'
What I loved about it this video was that it was so raw and honest.
You can watch the video in full HERE.
Well... I asked someone who has a sibling with autism... my daughter's twin brother. My son, Rafael. My daughter, Estella.
Here is what Estella said:
"It's like, hard, because he's different, and he does different things.
He, like, doesn't have the same emotions as us.
He has different choices, at a different level in life.
He's a reality person, too. So, he see things in a different way.
But there is also the screaming and drama.
The tantrums - they are noisy, and ten times as crazy as normal people.
I feel sad how he has to put up with things that are hard.
Sometimes he gets all the special treatment at school - like cooking, and excursions.
Sometimes he gets all the treatment like that at home, too.
We always have to agree with him, to make sure he doesn't have a tantrum
[Do you worry for him in future?]
Yes, because when he is in the real world with lots of hard things that are challenging, maybe his tantrums will get worse when he gets older
Because the older you get, the more you get serious, all the time.
He will meet new people, and they may not know he has autism.
[Do you feel that you care for him more because he has autism?]
Yes. I want to teach him all there is to learn. I want to teach him about trying more things, to act like a normal person.
I think Raf is kinda different and kinda normal at the same time."
So there you have it. Parents of kids with autism - you will be able to relate.

From the video, some quotes:
“Not having a typical sibling relationship.”
“The struggle of going through his adulthood is something that’s not only going to impact myself but my future wife and my kids.”
“Not getting enough attention from your parents.”
I carry a lot of guilt just trying to live my own life.
“The frustration is just something you have to swallow.”
But ultimately, they all agree that they have learned a lot from their autistic sibling:
“My brother has taught me to accept people for who they are.”
“To have a deeper purpose in life.”
“That differences are ok.”
“A person’s a person no matter what.”

ReplyDeleteAs a sign of gratitude for how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication,and he always complain of poor eye contact . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the cure to autism . I never imagined autism has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism has a cure and is a herbal cure,you contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony .
DR WILLIAMS HERBAL CURE TO AUTISM.
ReplyDeleteI was always praying to have a testimony when ever i saw people sharing their own testimonies which really took me years but today i am the happiest father on earth.My son suffered autism for 5 years, after taken different kind of western medication without been cured.All these years my son have been abnormal but today he is been cured.and you do not know how i feel having my son back to normal because it was not really easy for me having just two son and one been abnormal.I took time to search the internet which i found a lot of people thanking Dr. Williams concerning the same problem and i discussed it with my wife and she agreed will should give a try so we order his product which my son took for 28 days and he is very much okay now.I will advise you to stop wasting time on all these western medicine because they only work for some times and the problem bounce back again.Contact Dr.at drwilliams098675@gmail.com for advice and for his product and be the next to give your testimony.
