My brother Pat is 1)brilliant. He is priceless. His brain works in ways that mine never will. But he has autism. I have had a unique life. I grew up with a little brother whose needs were always more important than mine. To be the sister of a child with autism means every day is crazy. You never know what to expect. It's stressful. You grow up very quickly. You deal with a lot of emotions and anxieties that never cross the minds of other 8-year-olds.
