When one child is autistic, the whole family is affected — and that includes siblings.
In this episode, we explore the emotional, social, and practical dynamics of sibling care for autism. From building strong sibling bonds to making sure neurotypical siblings feel seen and supported, we share insights, real stories, and tips to help families thrive together.
We cover:
The challenges and rewards of being a sibling to an autistic child
How to balance attention, care, and emotional needs across siblings
Practical strategies for promoting understanding and empathy
Ways to include siblings in the care journey without overwhelming them
The long-term role siblings may play in future caregiving
Whether you’re a parent, sibling, caregiver, or professional, this episode offers a compassionate look at how to nurture everyone in the family.
