Twins With IDD


From my experience twins with disabilities vary from twins without disabilities. There is usually one twin that does a little better than one in something but it is usually shown more in those with disabilities. They also have more of a chance of developing disabilities if they are identical twins. There are also twins with one with a disability and one without.

One twin usually outshines another in a certain area this is the case in both twins with disabilities and ones without. They usually have certain strengths and certain things they can do better than the other. The differences are usually more noticeable in the twins that have disabilities. The differences are less noticeable in the other sets of twins. They are less susceptible to getting differences than twins with disabilities.

If there is a slight disability with both then they are very likely to develop differently. When dealing with individuals with disabilities it is easier to shape them and then disabilities can be altered with minor changes in how they are educated or treated. If there is any difference in how the twins are treated then they can easily turn out very differently. In twins without disabilities it isn’t as easy to shape how they will turn out because they aren’t as easily affected by the subtle changes. They are still going to be affected if there is a large amount of difference in how they are treated there will be differences. If there are only subtle differences then the changes will not be as noticeable.

There are some sets of twins where one has a disability and the other doesn’t. This can be due to a number of reasons. In some cases it is because of labor complications where something happens to one of the two healthy babies like one is born then the other gets a complication during birth where they suffer brain damage. Another is a pregnancy complication where one baby is damaged maybe by an accident or drinking or some medications. Another way is they are just genetically made that way.
