11. My Big Brother: Life When Your Sibling Has Disabilities

from aVERY BRIGHT LIFE · host Lisa Thornbury

My Twitter bio used to say, "I have two kids—one has special needs, but both are special." I wrote that before I knew to replace special needs with disabled and my bio has since been appropriately updated. However, there are a lot of special and endearing things about both of my children. In this episode, Sebastian joined his sister and I on the show to share a bit about his experience with having a sibling with disabilities.  He had his second Covid shot this week and isn't feeling the greatest. So, we kept the chat short and rather "introductory." But don't worry...he'll back another time to go deeper into a few key topics.  This podcast was recorded in Garageband and edited (to the best of her limited tech ability) by Lisa Thornbury.
