Autism, My Sibling, and Me
Organization for Autism Research
Young children with siblings with autism are in a unique position. They face challenges (similar to those that parents encounter), but at a time before they've developed appropriate coping strategies. As a result, they need support to ensure that they're informed, feel respected, and know how to be compassionate advocates for their brothers and sisters on the spectrum. "Autism, My Sibling, and Me" is a fun and engaging workbook for children between the ages of 5 and 10. A host of colorful cartoon characters accompany these siblings as they learn about what autism means for their brother or sister -- and handle potentially stressful issues. Through fun activities and supportive content, this resource also helps children work through many of the autism-related questions they may have. [This resource is the product of hard work and creativity put in by Lauren Laverick-Brown and Jessie Stanek, OAR Interns.]
