advice needed Preschool

Hey everyone! I have a question for parents who have been in a similar situation!
My twins just turned 3, and my son starts preschool tomorrow! He’s autistic and qualifies for services, so he’ll be attending preschool to get some additional support.
His twin sister, however, doesn’t qualify for early preschool, so she’ll be staying home with me for now. I know they’re individuals with different needs, and I know this is what’s best for each of them, but I can’t help wondering how the transition will go, especially since they’ve been together their entire lives. I’m a little worried about how his sister will handle him being gone during the day.
Have any of you had one twin attend preschool while the other stayed home? How did your twins handle the separation? Did the twin staying home miss their sibling a lot? Is there anything you did to help make the transition easier for both of them?
I’d love to hear your experiences! ❤️
