Yo, yo, yo, Joe, Stefan Molyne, you from Free Domain.

Great questions from freedomane.locals.com and also Facebook.

So here we go. Hi, Steph, wondering if you could give me some insight on raising my sons.

I have two sons, 12 and 13. The 13 year old is autistic.

When the boys were much younger, and if I was out with them at the zoo or park or something,

my 13-year-old would at times be oversimulated from the environment, and because it was the

three of us and their mother was not around, we often would have to suspend the activity

because my 13-year-old would be having meltdowns and so on. So his younger brother oftentimes would have to defer to his brother.

I noticed this trend and made an effort to make sure that my youngest son would not always have to

defer and make sacrifices.

I have noticed lately that my youngest son does care for his brother but definitely wants

to have his own space and be his own person and does not want to be responsible

for his brother, which is understandable. My question is, I know that I am the parent, and it is my

responsibility to take care and raise my sons, but is there any responsibility for siblings to take care

of siblings? One day the parents will be gone. How much responsibility will they have for each other?

And what kind of influence and emphasis should I place on that, if any, should there be,

sorry, should I place on that, if any? Should there be now as my sons are growing up?

Sorry, let me just mean. One day the parents will be gone. How much responsibility will they have for each other?

And what sort of influence and emphasis should I place on that, if any,

should there be now, as my sons are growing up?

Sorry, it kind of went off the rails at the end there.

So the first thing that I do with regards to family matters,
