I have noticed as my 5 year-old twins get older, their lives become more impacted by their older sister on the spectrum. Don’t let the looks fool you, Mallory can be a handful, but she also fills the family roll of helping Maddie when we (her parents) are busy doing something else. I like a lot of who she is becoming…most of the time.
I thought it would be interesting to get the perspective of a 5 year-old who has a sister on the autism spectrum.
