Content creator Pritty Vishy has opened up about the emotional and daily challenges she faces while caring for her nonverbal autistic sister.

In a heartfelt post shared on her Instagram page on Monday, December 22, 2025, Vishy recounted a particularly overwhelming day when she had to assist her sister through her first menstrual cycle.

Vishy described the experience as intense, noting that it required constant attention and patience. She shared that mornings like these leave her “on her toes” as she navigates her sister’s needs, from hygiene to emotional comfort.

“Wash her, clean her, or take care of her. I have to, because I don’t want her to cry every time,” she explained in her video, reflecting the practical yet emotionally taxing responsibilities she carries.

The content creator highlighted the emotional strain of raising a child who cannot communicate verbally. Days can be particularly overwhelming, especially when her sister is experiencing new and confusing milestones, such as the onset of menstruation.

“Having a disabled kid, a nonverbal disabled kid, and then if she can’t have her menses, is the hardest and most overwhelming time,” Vishy noted.

Despite the challenges, Vishy emphasised the importance of showing love and care consistently. She shared that even on difficult days, she strives to provide comfort, understanding, and reassurance, ensuring her sister feels safe and supported.

“Every day, I just try as much as I can to show her love, to show that I care,” she said. Her dedication underscores the profound emotional and practical commitment involved in caring for someone with special needs.

Vishy also touched on the moments of isolation that often accompany caregiving.

She expressed a longing for guidance and shared experiences, saying, “Days like these, I wish my sister could talk,” highlighting the gap in communication that makes caregiving uniquely challenging.
