Siblings of Children With Autism: A Guide for Familes (Topics in Autism)
This new edition explores the impact of autism on sibling relationships helping parents to meet the needs of all their children. New material covers a siblings' understanding of autism at different ages and the continuing effect of autism on siblings' careers and caregiver roles. 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.
