Brothers and sisters
Growing up with a brother or sister with Down's syndrome Define Down's syndrome can be fun but sometimes you might find it difficult. All brothers and sisters feel like this about each other sometimes.
If you are a younger brother or sister, you can Ask Karen if there is anything you are not sure about. We also have leaflets for young children and teenagers which are listed below.
Down's Syndrome Scotland has many useful publications to download or order, as well as the information you'll find on this site.
The relationship you have with your brother or sister may be the longest you have with anyone. So enjoy it. But remember that you are important too.
