Hi! My name is Christine and I'm the 17 year old sister of an autistic child. I've created a website with resources specifically for the siblings of autistic individuals, titled "SAY - Siblings of Autistic Youth". This site includes a section to connect with other siblings, a blog, DIY (Activities!), and more. Although it was created with siblings in mind, there are also many resources for everyone, so please take a look!
