At the Autism Community Summit 2026, Optism was honored to moderate the inspiring session, “From Childhood Through Adulthood: A Sibling’s Perspective – The Unsung Heroes of a Neurodivergent Family.”
The session began with a video interview featuring three young students, who candidly shared their experiences growing up in neurodivergent families. Their heartfelt reflections set the stage for a powerful on-stage conversation with three adult sisters, who opened up about their journeys, challenges, and the immense love that has shaped their lives. Together, they offered invaluable advice to families navigating similar paths.
Tune in now to watch the interviews and on-stage discussion, and gain a deeper understanding of why siblings are truly the unsung heroes in neurodivergent families.
