    A Bond Between Brothers
    Gold
    Domestic Picture Story
     
    Evan, 14, and Holden, 10, are two brothers living with autism. “Evan and Holden can relate to each other and will always be there for one another. Understanding how each other feels makes them feel less isolated, more normal,” says their mother Heather Pardue. While the two brothers share a bond, they can also also trigger each other’s behavioral issues. However, Heather says that “not everything is about autism – sometimes, it's just about being siblings.”
    Story: A Bond Between Brothers
    A Bond Between Brothers
    Evan, 14, and Holden,10, are brothers. Both have been diagnosed with autism. While the current reported rate for having a child with autism is 1 in 64, that rate rises to 1 in 4 when you have a sibling with the disorder. While the autism aggravates their relationship, it also pulls them closer. They understand each other in a way that no one else can.

    “Not everything is about their autism; it’s sometimes just about being siblings. The only thing that makes it atypical is their overaction,” says Heather about the fights between the two boys.

    “I’m very happy I have two children with autism. They can relate and will always have each other. Understanding how they both feel makes them feel less isolated, more normal," said Heather.

    Evan and Holden hug after a fight. Next year, the two boys will start at a new independent school, started by their mom Heather. Her hope is that the curriculum will help them become more independent and give them the opportunity to flourish in an academic environment tailored to their needs.
