This booklet presents excerpts from interviews with siblings (ages 10-28) of persons with a range of handicaps, including Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, deafness, autism, seizure disorder, genetic disorders, and mental retardation. It is arranged in order from the youngest person interviewed and continues through successively older siblings. This is intended to help the reader watch the maturing process from the somewhat limited understanding of the first interviewee, through the adolescent years when normal sibling strife can be exacerbated by the presence of a handicap, to the young adult years when siblings have built lives outside the family home and look back upon their childhood relationships with a more removed perspective. The comments of the siblings vary widely, but among the topics covered are relationships with parents, school-related experiences, reactions of their friends to their siblings' problems, level of understanding they had as a child about the handicaps involved, the responsibilities they bore for the care of their sibling while growing up, and their concerns about future plans and longterm care for their sibling. A list of resources is included. (VW)
