The Often Forgotten Siblings

This is a subject that doesn’t seem to get much attention but as I see families come in the office with children on the spectrum who have brothers and sisters, it is apparent that there is a dynamic going on that is often not addressed by the community. As I have said I the past,  Autism affects children and therefore the entire family and society in so many ways. This is one aspect  that doesn’t seem to get much attention. Here are 2 video clips relating to a sibling of a child with Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, the interviews address how they feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOKAjJDwuBk&feature=related
