Editorial Review
Since 1994, SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM has been helping parents meet the needs of siblings in families of children with autism. During many years in clinical practice, the authors have worked with hundreds of families and seen firsthand how siblings can become overshadowed by the intensive focus on a child with autism. This common occurrence is only one of the many sibling issues that parents and professionals should not only be sensitive to, but ready to address.
Now in a brand new and expanded edition, SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM explores the basics of sibling relationships and the complexities that surface in families of children with autism. Chapters cover how to explain autism to siblings, how to get siblings to share their feelings and concerns, how to master the family balancing act, and how to foster play between siblings. New chapters have been added concerning what siblings actually believe or understand about autism at different ages and how autism continues to impact adult sibling relationships, careers, and caregiver roles. Throughout the book, there are stories about individual families, giving readers points of comparison and helpful insights along the way.
The direct challenges of raising a child with autism are well known to parents. But it is important for parents to also see autism through the eyes of their other children. For families looking for guidance on sibling issues and autism, the new edition addresses a multitude of their concerns and questions, and also offers advice on how to seek support from a family therapist or other professional when more intensive help is needed.

Thoroughly "reader friendly" text 
2003-07-15
Now in its second edition, Siblings Of Children With Autism the collaborative effort of Sandra L. Harris (a Board of Governors Distinguished Service Professor at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology) and Beth A. Glasberg (a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Research Professor at the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center at Rutgers University) and offers the reader a straightforward, authoritative, instructional resource addressing questions, concerns, and issues for the siblings in a family with an autistic child -- children who may require a disproportionate amount of care and attention from the parents. With its thoroughly "reader friendly" text, Siblings Of Children With Autism is a vital contribution the field and a strongly recommended reference, especially for the non-specialist general reader who is a member of, or has dealings, with the brothers and sisters of an autistic child in the family.
Wonderful insights and ideas 
1999-04-13
This is a great book for parents, and a wonderful resource to have as the years go on. I found the information and suggestions to be straightforward and practical. This is a well-written, concise book. I wish that there were discussion of the possible issues and behaviors of a sibling who is having difficulties coping with the realities of having an autistic child. This book tends to be more proactive in its approach. The emphasis on maintaining normalcy in your family life is very important advice. This is a must-have for your "autism-library."
