Being the sibling of a child with autism can be a challenging and rewarding experience. On the one hand, you may feel like you have to take on more responsibility than other siblings. You may have to help with your sibling's care, or you may have to be more understanding and patient when they're struggling. On the other hand, you may also have a closer relationship with your sibling than other siblings. You may share a special bond that no one else can understand.
