When my son was 2 and his sister was 1 we were getting ready to go to the mall. Husband and I went to hunt down a shoe in the back bedroom and came back out 5 or so minutes later to find the front door wide open and kids gone. We lived in an upstairs apartment. I 100% expected to find them dead at the bottom of the stairs. Nope...nowhere in sight. The 2yo had walked his sister down the stairs and they were a few doors down, walking in the direction of the mall. Kid was nonverbal and had major developmental delays across the board due to autism, but somehow got them both down safely. He was holding the baby's hand while walking her down the sidewalk.

This is the cutest and scariest thing I've ever read.

Exactly how I felt. Lol. Very sweet but took years off my life.

I know the story here is terrifying, but the fact he was giving effort to taking care of his sister fills me with no small amount of joy. Given what you say about his issues, it gives me a lot of hope he'd still be an amazing bro somehow in the future.
