  • Try not to carry all of those burdens on yourself. I'm sure your an amazing parent. It might take your children a little while to fully understand that their brother is different, but I think that once they do, they will not feel pushed out. They will understand that you are trying your best to be there for all of them. And I think it's a good idea to continue to try to get your other children to help out with their brother. It might seem useless now because he keeps pushing them away, but I think once he gets use to it, he will want them around as much as he wants you around. Right now, your the only one he feels connected too. But if you continue to let the other children do things for him, even if in a small way, I think he'll start to feel more connected with them as well.
