5yo neurotypical and 7yo autistic. The 5yo asked tonight, 'why does brother get to leave dinner when he's loud?' Looking for scripts that don't pit them against each other or make special needs sound like a free pass.

We use 'fair isn't equal — fair is everyone gets what they need.' Then we ask the NT sibling what THEY need. Sometimes it's a quiet snack break, sometimes it's just being heard.
