Hi Carolyn,

I was recently contacted by an organization that may be helpful to you. The Sibling Project was founded to provide peer support for siblings of kids with special needs. I'm sure you will be able to speak with siblings who will be happy to answer your questions and provide you with valuable insight.
Here's the link to my article on the subject.
