Unlike studies focused on parental perceptions, it directly explores the lived experiences of siblings, who are often overlooked, particularly younger ones. Through an exploratory approach, the study highlights the uniqueness of sibling dynamics and the meaning each child attributes to their relationships within the family. We initially met with four sibling groups, consisting of children aged 4 to 18, each sharing a common history with their brothers and sisters but experiencing it in a unique way. To illustrate these singular positions, we focused on one sibling group composed of four brothers and sisters, the eldest of whom — Florian — has an intellectual disability. Thematic analyses revealed ambivalent interactions marked by conflicts, violence, and moments of complicity. These relationships oscillated between solidarity and rivalry, often exacerbated by parental expectations or redistributed responsibilities. Barbara, for instance, embodied a “functional eldest” assuming a parental role due to her brother's disability. These responsibilities can foster altruistic behaviors but also mask latent suffering. Silence around the disability is a recurring theme. Children avoid discussing it, which reinforces their isolation and limits their understanding of the challenges associated with disability. Florian verbalized a feeling of exclusion, while his siblings sometimes expressed guilt or incomprehension. This research underscores the importance of recognizing children's voices, whether they have a disability or not, to understand their perceptions and support their development. It highlights the necessity of specific support systems to assist families facing disability-related challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39666,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychiatrie de l''Enfance et de l''Adolescence","volume":"73 8","pages":"Pages 419-427"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145527775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
