Anyone with a sibling knows this is the truth, especially when you and your sibling(s) were young kids.
But when you have a child that have Autism is tossed into the mix with totally normal sibling can take a more drastic turn.
A big concern for other families is sibling interaction, or lack of. Usually, the issues fall into one of these categories:
- Step back from the problems, and focus on what you do want to see,
- issues with name-calling and teasing? Then you want to see respect.
- issues with hitting or kicking? Then you want to see calm bodies.
- issues with always having to win every game? Then you want to see playing by the rules.
- When it comes to behavior: focus on what you want, rather than what you don't want.
