Having a sibling on the autism spectrum

We interviewed 14 people, aged between 17 and 54, who have siblings with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The interviews were about their experiences from childhood to the present day and included their relationships with family and friends, the highs and lows of their life so far, and their thoughts about what the future may hold. To share in their experiences and to find out more information about what it is like to grow up with a sibling on the spectrum, click on the links below.
