In this moving collection of beautifully-written personal accounts, siblings from a variety of backgrounds, and in different circumstances, share their experiences of growing up with a brother
or sister on the autism spectrum. Despite their many differences, the stories show that certain things are common to the "sibling experience": the emotional terrain of looking on or being
overlooked; the confusion of accommodating resentment, love, and helplessness; and, above all, the yearning to connect across neurological difference.
Siblings and Autism is a thought-provoking read that will appeal to anyone with a personal or professional interest in autism, including siblings of those on the autism spectrum, parents of
siblings, teachers, counselors, and psychologists.
