CPOY 70 Domestic Picture Story Gold: A Bond Between Brothers

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.”
