Autism Odyssey

What about me? A Sibling's Story


Listen Later

In this intimate and revealing episode, I sit down with my daughter to explore the often-overlooked perspective of siblings growing up alongside autism. Through our candid conversation, we uncover her complex emotions, challenges, and profound insights from childhood as the sister of an autistic brother.

From her early memories of confusion and adjustment to her evolved understanding as an adult, my daughter's story illuminates the unique path siblings walk—balancing their own needs while growing up in a family deeply impacted by autism. Her reflections offer valuable insights into how this experience has influenced her worldview, relationships, and the adult she's become.
