What Have You Learned As A Sibling Of Someone With Special Needs?

Tell us all about it!

Growing up with a sibling who has a disability is a very unique experience.

You often have a special set of emotions, responsibilities and opportunities when it comes to your sibling.

You may be much younger or older than them, or perhaps you're similar in age.

Regardless, we want to know what lessons you have learned from them throughout the course of your life.

Perhaps you have some guiding words for a new sibling of someone with special needs.

Maybe you've learned a great deal from something that was challenging...or totally rewarding.

The lesson may have shaped your understanding of what the word "disability" means.

Share your experience below and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post! Bonus points if you add a photo of you and your awesome sibling!
