The siblings

The siblings of autistic children often have a hard time. They usually are jealous, which is very understandable, they are sometimes ashamed of their brother or sister and they live many stress situations. You know all that. Of course the siblings are very precious to you, but more often than not it is not easy to show them that. You often are demanding of them, you get angry for behaviours which their brother of sister are allowed to do, and there is the fatigue, the sorrow and the despair...... 

It is an idea to make little notes and to put them under their pillow for instance in order for them to find them in the morning, On these little notes, you can write "You are the best!", or, "What would I do without you.", or "I am so proud of you!", etc. It will make the beginning of the day much more pleasant and I believe it will change everyone's mood instantly!
