119. Sibling Talk with Maddie

Today we have our very first guest on the podcast, and who better
than my daughter, Jordan's sister, Madison?  


Maddie and I talk about her experience growing up with a brother
with autism and a single mom.


It is a candid and open conversation and she shares her
perspective on what it was like and the differences she sees now
as a young adult.  


What was the most difficult part for you growing up with a
brother on the spectrum?

Do you remember me explaining Jordan's autism to you at
various times to help you understand?

Did you ever feel like you were missing out on anything
because of Jordan?

Were there any times that you can remember when he did
something that embarrassed you?

Are there any things that you worry about as Jordan get's
older?  

How do you see that your relationship has changed as you are
both young adults now?  



I believe that Madison growing up with an autistic brother gave
her compassion and understanding at a very young age.  She
is the least judgmental person I know and I think much of that
comes from having a brother that was different.
