Autism Through a Sister’s Eyes
Synopsis
When young people have questions about a brother or sister with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, clear answers can be hard to find.

Told in her voice, Emily's story is as uplifting as it is filled with valuable information for parents and siblings, or any individual whose life is touched by a person with high-functioning autism or Asperger's Syndrome.Helpful chapters include:
