Siblings : The Autism Spectrum Through Our Eyes, Paperback / softback Book

Siblings : The Autism Spectrum Through Our Eyes Paperback / softback

Edited by Anne Van Rensselaer, Jane Botsford Johnson

Paperback / softback

Description

Growing up with a sibling on the autistic spectrum can be difficult, and the needs of a child with autism often overwhelm a family, leaving neurotypical children feeling overshadowed.

For the first time, the 'neurotypical' siblings get to have their say.

They recount the good, the bad, and the downright annoying in a way that all young people in a similar situation will immediately recognise. Young siblings of all ages candidly recount how being 'the neurotypical one' can be tiring, frustrating, and lonely, but equally rewarding, and every story is injected with wisdom gained by young people who often have to grow up a lot more quickly than their peers. This book is essential reading for children and teenagers with a sibling on the autistic spectrum, and for parents wishing to understand how autism in the family will affect their neurotypical child.
