In Central Massachusetts, the Autism Resource Center has workshops for the siblings of children who have autism and Asperger's in order to help them express their concerns. Dubbed the "Sibshops," the workshops give the brothers and sisters a place to go and learn how to cope with living with siblings with developmental disabilities. There, they meet adults who also have siblings that have autism and Asperger's and learn strategies on how to help, cope, and support.
I wish my two of my three older siblings who live in Maryland would go to workshops like these. They still expect me to turn into a very independent normal person overnight.
