More Details

Summary:

This video follows-up the award-winning documentary Autism: Time is Brain, which focused on the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for children with autism. This latest program deals with the impact of autism on the typically developing brothers and sisters of children with autism. To find out more about the range of grown-up responsibilities and challenges these siblings face, the film documents a visit with three families who are raising an autistic child and talked with a grown sibling. The video includes a discussion with one of the nation's leading experts on the siblings of children with autism, Dr. David Celiberti. This program examines the factors that influence the quality of the sibling relationship--typically the longest and most complicated relationship in a family. Of special interest is the fact that this program revisits the Camazine family. They were featured in Time is Brain. Their son Conor is now enrolled in a typical classroom and doing remarkably well. He no longer has an IEP (Individual Education Plan) and is indistinguishable in most ways from his same-age peers. The visit with the Camazines examines the impact Conor's intensive educational treatment had on his big sister, Caela.
