When young people have questions about a brother or sister with autism or Asperger’s Syndrome, clear answers can be hard to find. Written by

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.
