181. How has your sibling changed your life? (ft. Dana & Anthony Sciullo from the NDSS team)
Episode description
Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month! We’re celebrating all month long with guests who are rockin’ an extra chromosome! And today we have a very special sibling duo.. Anthony & Dana Sciullo from @ndssorg! Ever wondered what sibling relationships will look like when your kids with and without DS are all grown up.. our guests today are giving us a little sneak peek! Plus, we’re getting real about what it’s like to grow up with a sibling who has Down syndrome. We’re chatting about the pressure of being a sibling to someone with a disability, the jealousy you feel when your sibling seems to get more attention, and the guilt you carry for receiving more opportunities than your sibling. There’s a lot to unpack here, friends. But no matter what, we believe that siblings with DS make our lives better. For anyone out there wondering how to foster these sibling relationships, we hope you enjoy this episode!
