Welcome to Siblings of Autism!

Hello readers!

Autism:

1. a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.

When you tell someone you have a sibling sufferring from autism, they will Google it and get this response. And hey, I am the biggest believer that the internet is always right and has all the answers, but this time it's different. Autism is so much more than its definition.

As you may have read in the "About" section of this blog, my name is Edi and I have a younger brother with Autism, Bill.

All through my life I have wished I had someone to talk to about it. I needed advice, and there was no where to get it. I have always dreamed of having people to talk to about this, and share the things that I have learnt with them.

Of course, every case of Autism is different.

What I needed was a guiding light when all I saw was darkness. None of my friends understood what it was like to have a sibling who you simoltaniously loved and hated.

So I have started this blog to connect with people around the world, be their guiding light. Please email me anytime, I would love to share some of my wisdom with you and vice versa.

I hope that this blog can help you in some way. Happy reading!

Love,

E.
