Beschreibung:
Debra L. Cumberland is Associate Professor of English and Director of Graduate Studies in English at Winona State University, Minnesota. She teaches literature and creative writing classes, and has published creative nonfiction on autism. Bruce Mills is Professor of English at Kalamazoo College, Michigan, and has served as the Board Chair of The Gray Center for Social Learning and Understanding, a non-profit organization that works with individuals on the autism spectrum. He has also published creative nonfiction on autism. Debra has a brother with autism, and Bruce has a son on the spectrum and a neuro-typical daughter.
In this collection of personal accounts, siblings from a variety of backgrounds share their experiences of growing up with a brother or sister with autism. They show that certain things are common to the "sibling experience: being overlooked; accommodating resentment, and helplessness; and the yearning to connect across neurological difference.
