[quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant with my 3rd and worried that this one will overall negatively impact the first 2 given they already had the benefit of a sibling. We will see I know a family with 5, the oldest (10) has autism and is nonverbal, the next oldest (9yo girl) has to take on a ton of work caring for her younger siblings. I can see why they might have wanted 3 in this situation (hope for a neurotypical sibling for the girl) but can't fathom why they kept going after that....every additional child has come very much at the detriment of the oldest 2 - the first b/c they don't have much time or money to best help the child with autism and the second b/c she has to pick up so much responsibility at a young age. the 3rd and 4th are entirely lost in the shuffle [/quote]
