VIDEO: Emily on her brother with Autism

by adam - September 6, 2016

We recently came across this extraordinary video on YouTube.

Emily is 14 and her brother has Autism. So often we forget the impact a person with Autism can have on their siblings. Growing up in a house affected by Autism can bring its fair share or challenges AND it can also have a hugely positive impact on how a person grows up, matures and sees the world.

Emily gives us an amazing, honest and powerful insight into growing up with a sibling who has Autism – she addresses what can be challenging but also very passionately touches on her love for her brother and her desire for him to be more included by society.

Check it out below and show some love guys – share this with anyone who might find it useful!
