At 9, Jayden Tan was diagnosed with PURA syndrome, a rare genetic condition (there are only 200+ known patients worldwide). Now 17, he is non-verbal, has developmental delay and needs help with daily tasks like eating.
His three sisters, aged 19, 16 and 14, share about what it's been like growing up with Jayden and the expectations of them as shared caregivers. They also respond to comments from viewers after their family's story was featured on #OnTheRedDot’s Undiagnosed series.

If the parents had done a terrible job, their daughters wouldn't be this kind, intelligent, and eloquent. It is clear that they have their own goals and dreams, whilst still also understanding that their parents will grow older and so, eventually, the responsibility of taking care of Jaden would fall on them. There is a balance to be had - and these three girls all seem to have good heads on their shoulders and would definitely be able to make the best choices for their lives. May they be granted many days of happiness and fulfilment.

These are very, very, special girls and their parents must be so proud of them. Just think, we are only watching about 10 ten minutes of THEIR day, they have done this for 24 hours 7 days a week. That is true dedication and sincere care. I hope all their dreams come true because they, more than anyone, deserve them to.

You three girls have taken family ties & bonding to a new height with so much genuine care, concern, commitment & love for your brother. These days there're some who are so self centred with no time for parents or siblings let alone sibling with special needs. My respect & admiration to you girls. Keep up the good work !!

Love this! There's no divisive sibling rivalry b/c each sibling sincerely cares, respects, and loves one another equally including special needs brother, Jayden. It's selfish thinking, thinking that Jayden is a burden too. Thank you for sharing this story, CNA Insider! 😁💓!

What resulted in those comments was the mum saying the plan was to have more kids so when they are gone there are siblings to look after Jayden. Whether it was edited to make it seem like she said that, or if she legit said that the audience will not know. But since the sisters say they don’t feel that way, good for them.

In the previous documentary, the mother did say that they (I assume she and her husband) told the girls that Jayden was part of the girls' responsibility when they are no longer around. That set off a lot of comments in that video saying that that sounds unfair for the girls.

Watching this video, I'm filled with immense respect and admiration for all three of you. It's truly heartwarming to see how you embrace the role of caregivers for your brother, Jayden, with such patience, grace, and unwavering love. Remember that it's perfectly okay to have moments of struggle - they don't make you any less incredible. Continue to support one another as you have been, because the unity in your family is truly something special. In a world that often seems lacking in empathy, your unwavering love and dedication to Jayden's well-being is a beacon of hope. Your story serves as an invaluable lesson for us all on the importance of love, resilience, and understanding. Keep shining and inspiring! You're making a difference not just in Jayden's life, but in the lives of all who hear your story. Stay strong! 💪❤

love that the sisters showed so much empathy. I have brain dysfunction, hypothyroidism and pituitary gland issue, brain dysfunction was due to the head injuries I sustained when I was in sec4, which was nine years ago as classmates always like to kick soccer which always hit my head but there's once, one of the classmates kicked soccer ball into the sky while at the field gate into the field, which I got head shot and nose bleed, since then I couldn't cope with studies and been at home ever since, as back then after head injuries I had trouble finding way home after school as I couldn't remember my way home and started having trouble walking normally as my leg would jerk, I usually walk to school within 15minutes but after the head injury it took me an hour. school shows no empathy especially the student council and teacher in charge of the latecomers, even when my teacher request consent from the principal to allow me to enter school after morning assembly and before lesson starts, along with class bullying me as one shouted that im fat and entire classmates laughed along, there bullying got worse as not fat shamed, they even moved my table and chair to somewhere else in the school, stole my textbook and followed me home all the way to my doorsteps. I stopped going school and only attended n level English papers only. principal only advised me to get tested for thyroid which I got hypothyroidism. and since my sis is an adult, my mom ever asked her if she could take care of me in the future when they're not around since I have brain dysfunction im incapable of getting a job as I tried before and had brain fog which impossible to remember the task given, her response shocked my mom as she said "dont ever rely on me, I dont have money" my mom was dishearten by such heartless respond as she earned more than $5k. I was dishearten by her response as for me, if the role were to change, I would definitely take up the role to take care.

For the moment parents don't think about the future because everything gonna be on sister's shoulders A lot of adults with disabilities can't leave on their own its very Very Very hard To take care of them You are scared all the time people look down on them You can't have your own life too so It's a burden like older people who are sick I have a brother in the case Family values It's one thing but the difficulties who came with it It's not easy

Reality is always hard. If brother suffers from mild autism or mild down syndrome, at least not so bad. Once the sisters have families, it will really be a challenge. The parents must prepare financially well for Jayden's so sisters no need to dig into savings to take care their brother. The sisters can use the funds to take care the brother. This is better I guess.

When they have their own families, it might be different story. The sisters can said whatever they want now. Unless each of them is willing to take turn let him stay at their home and hire a maid. But I'm sure the parents have to prepare for Jayden's so as to relieve sisters from bearing the bulk of responsibilities. Wishing them well!

Clearly you don’t understand, nor do you have the honor of caring for a loved one with special needs. Can’t you see that they’re happy caring for their brother? Is life really all about finding a mate? You believe they won’t be able to find someone all because their brother is disabled?

I think the parents are trying to push the responsibility of taking care of the brother without considerations towards the 3 girls who have their own individual challenges in life to manage! It is a real challenge for the parents to do what are the right things to do , in all aspects of the family life ! Nevertheless, instilling the genuine care n love giving is universally recognized as the proud value that each n everyone of us should. Have to be spiritually strong n committed while facing adversities in life. Good Luck!
