Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this collection of personal accounts, siblings from a variety of backgrounds share their experiences of growing up with a brother or sister with autism. They show that certain things are common to the ""sibling experience: being overlooked; accommodating resentment, and helplessness; and the yearning to connect across neurological difference. |
