This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book by acclaimed author Eileen Garvin—her deeply felt, impeccably written memoir, How to Be a Sister will speak to siblings, parents, friends, and teachers of people with autism—and to anyone who sometimes struggles to connect with someone difficult or different. Eileen Garvin’s older sister, Margaret, was diagnosed with severe autism at age three. Growing up alongside Margaret wasn’t easy: Eileen often found herself in situations that were simultaneously awkward, hilarious, and heartbreaking. For example, losing a blue plastic hairbrush could leave Margaret inconsolable for hours, and a quiet Sunday Mass might provoke an outburst of laughter, swearing, or dancing. How to Be a Sister begins when Eileen, after several years in New Mexico, has just moved back to the Pacific Northwest, where she grew up. Being 1,600 miles away had allowed Eileen to avoid the question that has dogged her since birth: What is she going to do about Margaret? Now, Eileen must grapple with this question once again as she tentatively tries to reconnect with Margaret. How can she have a relationship with someone who can’t drive, send email, or telephone? What role will Eileen play in Margaret’s life as their parents age, and after they die? Will she remain in Margaret’s life, or walk away? A deeply felt, impeccably written memoir, How to Be a Sister will speak to siblings, parents, friends, and teachers of people with autism—and to anyone who sometimes struggles to connect with someone difficult or different.

This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Sister is Special, My Sister has Autism is the story of a young boy who realizes his sister is different from other children. Through his eyes, other family members come to understand that the younger child in the home is changing and is no longer as verbal and as interactive as she once was. The story follows the family as they receive the diagnosis of autism. It depicts the little boy's ability to understand and accept his sister, demonstrating that love and acceptance are more important than any diagnosis. A diagnosis of autism impacts all family members. Raising a child with this diagnosis places extraordinary demands on parents, both as individuals and as a couple. This becomes even more stressful for single parents. Sometimes the siblings in the home receive less attention and are impacted in ways that they do not fully comprehend. It is important for siblings to understand what autism is. It is essential to address the topic at the developmental age of the child. The information may need to be repeated frequently and does not need to be a long and drawn out explanation. A simple, "loud noises scare your sister," is sometimes enough. This book was written for the children impacted by someone in their family with a diagnosis of autism. It is the hope of the author that this book assists parents, teachers and caregivers in helping young children cope in these situations.
