Siblings Group

The Siblings Group is run once a year – usually in the late Spring/Summer term.

The group gives siblings an opportunity to take time for themselves and to meet other children who have brothers and sisters with autism. The children are encouraged to talk and take part in activities in a supportive, friendly and confidential environment.

Some of the topics covered include:
 
  • What is it like to have autism?
  • Explaining our feelings about our brothers and sisters with others
  • Difficult times with our brothers and sisters
  • Being treated differently from our brothers and sisters
  • Thinking about the future
The group is usually held at The Elizabeth Newson Centre, Ravenshead, and applications for the group are accepted throughout the year via the Society Office.
