Family Supports
Autism affects the whole family and can be stressful to cope with and sometimes difficult to understand. Families often find support groups helpful, especially at the beginning of their journey. Using respite services to take breaks is also an important tool in managing stress. Talk to your doctor or a professional counselor if you are having difficulty coping. -

Crisis Care

Sibling Issues
With the amount of time parents spend teaching and re-teaching, taking our kids to therapy and doctor appointments, and managing behavior, it may appear that all our time and attention may be given to the sibling with autism. It is common for siblings to experience a wide range of feelings toward and about the family member with autism. -
