Virtual Peer-to-Peer Support and Education for Siblings
A safe place for siblings to explore being a brother or sister to an autistic individual.

Learn more about autism and how to discuss it with your peers.
Have an opportunity to ask questions and provide input about autism and life as a sibling to someone with autism.
Share your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment.
