    Not a parent, but my older brother will be 25 in Nov. and has pretty severe CP but can still walk, is developmentally delayed, and has some autism. I was also blessed with a sister who's no longer around, she died in 2004 from an autism-related seizure. She was 10, one month away from turning 11, and I was 9. They are both my heros! <3 Feel free to add.
