[quote=Anonymous]#1 is autistic and being the younger sibling of an autistic kid has been wonderful for #2. #2 is wildly empathetic and caring and wants to go into social work or similar. I think it has definitely made her a better person. It helps that #1 is very high functioning academically and is in college and is likely to have a job in computer programming sitting in a quiet corner somewhere so #2 won't have to support him or anything. If anything, he'll send her money to help her in her low-paying but very important social work. They love each other even though they're very different and take good care of each other. When #2 came out 2 years ago she indicated that she had actually told her brother a whole year before. So they definitely talk about personal things even though I'm not always aware of it. Best thing I ever did was have 2 kids -- and then stop!!! 3 would have been really tough with the autism![/quote]
