Anyone with TWins with special needs?

Hi all!
I am a new mom to two beautiful babies - one girl and one boy. At 18 weeks i found out my "BabyA" would be born with Spina bifida. After much worrying, fretting, and fearing the unknown I can confidently say I am blessed with 2 perfect babies! My daughter is a perfect little gem and my son (formerly known as Baby A) is a lovable chunker!
I was wondering if any one out there has experienced dealing with one twin having special needs? I am wondering how to go about keeping them both feeling as 'normal" as possible. I want them both to feel as perfect as I see them :)
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Yes, I have a twin that has a genetic disorder-Neurofibromatosis Type 1. He's a bit developmentally behind and has fine motor issues. I treat them the same, I don't think "Ryker, the one that has NF1", so it's not really on my mind, if that makes sense.
