Is there a book for siblings with aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

Someone asked me if there's a good book about having a sibling with aspergers. He has a friend that has a younger brother with aspergers and there are difficulties in their relationship because of it. They are about 14 and 10, the younger one dx with as.

I Googled "Sibblings with Aspergers book" and came up with, immediately,

"Brotherly feelings: me, my emotions, and my brother with Asperger's Syndrome," which is sold on Amazon.

If you do a thorough search, I'm sure you'll find some books on the subject.

I'd suggest Luke Jackson's "Geeks, Freaks, and Asperger's Syndrome".

The book isn't specifically written for siblings, but it's full of information and short narratives from the perspective of the author, who has AS.

Here's a free PDF I found:

I never thought too much about what my siblings has thought, but I have an idea.
My sister is conflicted whether to feel sorry or console me. Often times, she's embarrassed by me and avoids me all together because she feels uncomfortable.
My brother is often repulsed by my behavior, but he's content when I interact with him and leave him alone with his friends.
