Having a sibling with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can at times leave an individual feeling alone, in need of a support system, and searching for answers to challenging questions. While many groups provide parents with guidance and support, siblings often struggle to find a similar community.
In response, the Els for Autism and the Autism Science Foundation collaborated to launch Sam’s Sibs Stick Together as a space for siblings to access research, resources, and an inclusive support system specific to their needs.
