An interactive workbook full of dynamic activities for children with siblings on the autism spectrum. Through individualized exercises in understanding and empathy, this book will serve to empower the child and strengthen their sibling relationship.

The relationship between siblings can be tough, and the sibling dynamic can be further challenged when one child has autism. This interactive workbook is designed for siblings of children with autism. Introducing the experience of autism in simple language, children are encouraged to complete activities that identify differences and strengthen relationships. This book is focussed on understanding and supporting a sibling while developing individual emotions and identity. The pages are designed to be drawn on and personalized by the child. Ideal for young children aged 8-12 who have a sibling with autism, the activities can be completed with a parent's guidance or on their own. Full of resources, strategies, and exercises, this workbook can support professionals working with children and facilitate healthy sibling relationships.

Sandra Tucker is the Founder and Director of Sibling Tree (siblingtree.org), which supports and empowers siblings of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and provide them with the resources necessary to become effective self-advocates, alongside their brothers and sisters. Growing up with a brother on the autism spectrum, Sandra was inspired to support other siblings through the publication of this book and an online resource.
