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.

Session 1 of 3

Siblings of children with autism/autistic children have a compelling need for information about autism and its implications.  They need information for reassurance, to answer their own questions and questions posed by others.

Across 3 peer group sessions Participants will

• Connect with other youth that also have brothers or sisters with autism.

• 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.
