Guest Posting at General Hysteria
Recently, Mia from General Hysteria guest posted for us, and now we would like to reciprocate. I will be posting at her site later in the week about how Asperger’s and neurotypical siblings benefit and hinder each other. Some points I will touch on include:
- increased compassion for the NT sibling
- increase in socially inappropriate behavior for the NT sibling
- social skills practice partner for the Asperger’s sibling
- sense of abandonment in the Asperger’s sibling when the NT sibling develops outside relationships
My comments will be based on my own experience of living with this dynamic for the past six years. Please stop by and check out the post!
