Well said! I find it interesting you also observed your other children showing/developing much greater empathetically. I am the father of a little boy who had Zellwegers syndrome and passed away at 7 months. He has an older sister (she was 2yrs at his birth) who is perfectly healthy, and we have found her comprehension emotionally is unparalleled amongst other kids her age. We also now have since adopted (new born), and our newest child doesn't seem to have that same emotional intelligence (shes also about 3yrs old now). So at least in my limited sample, they do seem to grow emotionally stronger when a sibling is challeneged/special needs. I'm just not sure how or why that is.
