In this heartwarming and insightful episode of What’s New on JCrew, we sit down with 10-year-old Bailee Joseph, proud big (and little) sister to BJ, who is on the autism spectrum. From everyday learning moments to unforgettable milestones, Bailee opens up about what it’s like growing up with a sibling who has special needs—and how it’s shaped her into a thoughtful, patient, and compassionate leader.
🎧 In this special sibling edition, we explore:
- Bailee’s favorite moments with BJ, including teaching him how to play basketball
- Her proudest memories, like BJ learning to use the bathroom independently
- Her honest curiosity about BJ’s behaviors, like stemming
- Encouragement for other siblings in similar situations
- Her powerful message: “It’s a journey with ups and downs, but be ready to help when you’re needed.”
Whether it’s cheering BJ on at the Special Olympics track or simply sharing family time at Universal Studios, Bailee reminds us that love, support, and understanding go a long way in the autism community.
💙 Tune in for a refreshing and inspiring perspective—from a sibling who shows us what it means to lead with heart.
