This is an interesting story of twin brothers both on the spectrum who are teenagers and their fourteen year old sister and an 11 year old sister.

Good information about siblings and how they handle autism and the challenges of puberty.

The author talks about some family videos when the twins were younger and goes with them to a conference.

I find using google to get to my old articles is the fastest way to find them.

Thanks for asking. I renewed all of them and find them of interest.
