Brothers and sisters have a unique window into each other's world. And when one of the siblings in the family has autism, that window provides a penetrating view into this fascinating and often misunderstood developmental disability.
Through a series of short vignettes narrated by the sibling themselves and depicting life at home, "The Other Child" provides a moving portrait about how growing up with a brother or sister with autism can shape a person--and a family. Clinical and scientific experts from the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center, the University of Miami, and other leading disability research institutions provide insightful commentaries about the latest in sibling research.
This unique film is part of the Sprout Touring Film Festival (showcasing films related to the field of developmental disabilities).
