Siblings

Straws

I just want to know if anyone else in this community has a brother or sister with autism? Or is autistic and has a sibling with or without autism?  Or maybe you are a parent with an autistic child and other siblings?

I would like to hear abour your experiences. 

 

I have two younger siblings with autism.  I have learnt alot growing up alongside them and I have both good and bad memories along the way.  I currently don't live in the same house as them, but try to visit them when I can.  I find it difficult to keep in contact with them as they are both non-verbal, but my parents keep me updated in between visits.

  • My oldest son is autistic and my middle son is going through the assessment process ... my youngest shows no autistic traits and I often wonder how he'll find life as he gets older ... he's not quite 3 and has lots of social interaction with other children at present but I do worry.

    When my littlest was very small and we first realised his middle brother might be autistic as well, I admit that I hoped my smallest would be as well as I was so concerned how he'd be affected if not. 

    Hope that helps,
