To date there have been zero studies on the neurological effects that special needs siblings have on their neurotypical siblings. <br /><br />I am quite sure I have PTSD as well and am currently looking into trauma therapy for myself.

I know what it feels like to have post traumatic stress. She is very aggressive at times. When it is one or two days dealing with this is stressful, but by the third day my body reacts on its own self defense. If I here a noise in the middle of sleep, my body and mind start preparing to defend itself or run.
