In this episode of Helping Families Go Beyond, host Loryn Carpenter sits down with Sean Peabody to talk about the experience of growing up with a neurodivergent sibling. Sean shares how his relationship with his brother Kevin has changed over the years, from childhood memories built around creativity and shared interests to a recent trip to Japan that showed just how much Kevin has grown in confidence, flexibility, and independence. Loryn also reflects on life with her brother Scottie and the humor, patience, discernment, and love that shape the sibling experience. Together, they explore what siblings learn, what they worry about, and why it matters to keep seeing the person beyond the diagnosis.
