Support for Siblings during COVID
Everyone needed support during the pandemic, but families affected by autismneeded special support. This included siblings. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital tried out an intervention around stress and anxiety reduction in siblings in 2020. Not only was it liked, it worked. It didn’t completely eliminate stress and anxiety, nothing would, but it did help siblings manage a little better. Can it work outside the pandemic? There are certainly other situations where siblings could use a little more support. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36460184/ https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10803-022-05500-7 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aur.2987 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aur.2987#aur2987-bib-0032
