April is Autism Acceptance and Awareness Month, the ideal time to raise awareness of all aspects of the condition, including how to support siblings of a child who has autism. 

"When a child has autism, it may require a great deal of a parent's energy, time, and focus. As a result, siblings may feel as though they are overlooked and develop other negative feelings. If these feelings are not addressed, they have the potential to fester and create significant problems for the entire family," said Sharyn Kerr, Ph.D., and Chief Clinical & Administrative Officer at BlueSprig Pediatrics, a leading provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy with locations across the Greater Houston area. 

Kerr says it's not uncommon for brothers and sisters of children who have autism to feel guilty because their sibling has it and they don’t. Or they may feel bad because simple tasks and concepts come much easier to them than to their siblings. In addition, if a sibling is older, they may worry about who will take care of their brother or sister with autism if something happens to their parents. If they are younger, they may be confused as to why a sibling with autism may not want to play with them or acts differently than they do. 

"All of these feelings are natural. Having a child with autism affects everyone in the family, and it's important to express those feelings in healthy ways," said Kerr.

To help siblings of a child with autism, BlueSprig provides the following tips and suggestions: 

• It's vital to acknowledge your child's thoughts and feelings without placing judgment. Listen to what they have to say and allow them to be honest in expressing their emotions.
• Carve out time to spend with your children who do not have autism. Quality, one-on-one with every member of your family is essential. Lean on trusted friends or family members to help watch your child with autism or other respite options offered in your community. Another prime opportunity is to take the sibling on a special outing while your child is receiving their treatment.
• Find a local support group so that siblings can meet and interact with other kids going through similar experiences. 
• Ask other parents or members of your support group about books or other resources that may help your children understand autism and how it may affect a sibling.

When siblings of a child with autism are supported, research has shown that those individuals grow up to become more tolerant of people different from them and become more loyal friends. They also are often more mature and have developed skills to help them navigate challenging situations. BlueSprig’s goal is to support the entire family throughout their journey.

Make plans to enjoy an evening of food, spirits, entertainment, and networking all for a great cause at “Shelter for Shelter” on Thursday, May 5, 2022.

Benefiting YES to YOUTH - Montgomery County Youth Services, this year’s event returns to Mercedes-Benz of The Woodlands with a festive Cinco de Mayo theme from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at 16917 I-45, just north of Hwy. 242.

The dealership’s spacious showroom will be transformed into an elegant party venue for guests to enjoy fun entertainment, delicious fine food by local restaurants, and refreshing spirits, along with an opportunity to mingle with community and local business leaders.

In its sixth year, the popular “Shelter for Shelter” fundraising event is presented by Zach Richmond and his team at Richmond Realty Group RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring.

YES to YOUTH - Montgomery County Youth Services is a non-profit organization that strengthens the emotional and mental health development of youth and families by providing crisis intervention, counseling, and suicide prevention services. It provides a safe and nurturing home where abused, battered, sex-trafficked, homeless, and at-risk youth begin healing from the past and begin healing for the future.

This year’s goal is to raise $75,000. Proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships will help fund YES to YOUTH’s mental health and homeless services, which are the top, urgent priority in need of support.

“The services we provide to youth in our community who are in need are critical at this time,” said Dannette Suding, CEO of YES to YOUTH - Montgomery County Youth Services. “Right now, there is an unprecedented surge of teens with attempted suicide, and we are trying to get the message out there that we are here for them. In addition, we currently have an astonishing 160 qualified families on the waiting list in need of our services, which are offered at no cost to youth and their families.

“The funds raised at Shelter for Shelter will help us meet the demand for our services by hiring more licensed counselors to serve the families of Montgomery County and to support the Bridgeway shelter. Many children arrive at the shelter with just the clothes they are wearing. We provide them with five sets of clothing, pajamas, undergarments, shoes, personal hygiene products, pillows, and sheets. We desperately need ongoing support from the community and we are grateful for the generosity of the local businesses, organizations, and individuals that participate in this important fundraising event.”
