Today is the 15th anniversary of my twin brother's passing. By a weird coincidence, today is also the day that @npr.org and @hereandnow.bsky.social featured my audio essay about Danny. It was a wonderful way to honor him. Please give it a listen. @acrebooks.bsky.social www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

Sibling of kid with disabilities never felt like a 'glass child'

Brian Trapp grew up with a twin brother who had severe cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities. But he never felt like a "glass child."

Thanks to @wbur.org for adapting my essay into an audio piece. You can hear me and Danny at age 5, 8, and 25, including us joking about who is the evil twin. But it also wonderful to hear my mom talking to Dan again. Please check it out and share. www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

My twin brother was disabled, but I don't consider myself a 'glass child'

"Sometimes I had to be my brother’s arms, legs, eyes and voice," writes Brian Trapp. "It often didn’t feel like a burden, more like an alternative way of moving through the world."

"If we extend the satellite metaphor...it shows how our lives bend to the increased gravity of our #disabled siblings in profound ways. The satellite makes no claims to a syndrome, as if trying to compete with a sibling’s diagnoses." Acre's @btrapperkeeper.bsky.social for NPR. tinyurl.com/3avkm68u

I wrote this short essay for NPR @wbur.org on being uncomfortable with the "glass child" metaphor and wanting a new way to talk about my sibling experience. Check it out. www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...
