Since 1994, SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM has been
helping parents meet the needs of siblings in families of
children with autism. During many years in clinical
practice, the authors have worked with hundreds of families
and seen firsthand how siblings can become overshadowed by
the intensive focus on a child with autism. This common
occurrence is only one of the many sibling issues that
parents and professionals should not only be sensitive to,
but ready to address. Now in a brand new and expanded
edition, SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM explores the
basics of sibling relationships and the complexities that
surface in families of children with autism. Chapters cover
how to explain autism to siblings, how to get siblings to
share their feelings and concerns, how to master the family
balancing act, and how to foster play between siblings. New
chapters have been added concerning what siblings actually
believe or understand about autism at different ages and how
autism continues to impact adult sibling relationships,
careers, and caregiver roles. Throughout the book, there are
stories about individual families, giving readers points of
comparison and helpful insights along the way. The direct
challenges of raising a child with autism are well known to
parents. But it is important for parents to also see autism
through the eyes of their other children. For families
looking for guidance on sibling issues and autism, the new
edition addresses a multitude of their concerns and
questions, and also offers advice on how to seek support
from a family therapist or other professional when more
intensive help is needed.
