Negligent Mom Tries to Take Away Daughter's Disney World Trip Because Her Younger Brother Threw a Tantrum About Not Going
Many families with autistic children have a major problem with ignoring the needs of their non-autistic children. While the autistic sibling gets showered with attention and their feelings are always considered, the neurotypical kids' needs get overlooked because they're not perceived as equally important. This type of child has been termed the "glass child."
"Glass children are siblings of a person with a disability. The word glass means people tend to see right through them and focus only on the person with the disability. "Glass" is also used because the children appear strong, but in reality are not. These children have needs that are not being met"
One glass child took to Reddit to share her story of her mom pressuring her not to go on a trip to Disney World with her best friend's family because it would hurt her autistic little brothers' feelings. Suffice it to say this story is absolutely heartbreaking.
