Siblings, Teenagers.....etc

[Guest guest]

Hi All~

Do any of your AS children have older, teenage siblings? We're

facing some issues, and I don't have that much of a network on this

part. Our daughter is almost 16, and she is having a lot of

difficulty in accepting AS. I see a lot of hurt and anger in her

and what was formerly a really loving sibling relationship has

deteriorated badly. That doesn't help any of the AS issues.

She's at a very " socially conscious " age: she won't hear of therapy

for herself, and would rather not hear of it at all. She actually

told me last night that she doesn't believe in AS, and thinks if we

were better parents, this would all go away. She was crying the

whole time.

Any experience or suggestions out there?

I've scheduled a family meeting tonight in an effort to keep the

peace.

Thanks for listening.
