Library Item Name:

Siblings of autistic children get chance to express concerns 		   
Summary Statement:

To be the brother or sister of an autistic child is to live in a bewildering present and face an uncertain future, to battle an undertow of anxieties that most youngsters don't have to think about, and to balance an array of conflicting - and often confusing - feelings.

"I worry about where my brother will live when he grows up."

"When Joey gets older, he is going to need some help."

"He will punch me like he does now, and he will be bigger, and it will hurt."

"I'm worried if he will have a good job and can drive."

"Robby will get teased at what he does because he's autistic."
