The Other Side Of Autism: Growing Up With Siblings on the Spectrum

What does it really feel like to grow up as the typical sibling in a special needs family?

In this powerful follow-up to our Glass Children episode, I sit down with my oldest son Jeremiah — who grew up alongside two siblings with profound autism — for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it cost him, what it shaped in him, and what he wishes more parents knew.

If you're an autism mom or autism dad with typical kids in your home, this episode is for them just as much as it's for you.

We talk about the caretaker role, feeling invisible, people-pleasing, guilt, and ultimately the unexpected gifts that come from a hard life you didn't choose.

This episode is a must-listen for any special needs parenting family.
