Looking for a potentially specific book recommendation (if it exists?) about parenting a child on the spectrum after growing up as a sibling of someone on the spectrum

Resources

I grew up with a sibling on the spectrum and now have multiple kids of my own, one of whom received an Asperger's diagnosis this year (we are in Europe, so they do still use that specific diagnosis where we live, I know in the US they've done away with it if I understand it correctly).

I'm ideally looking for a book or any kind of helpful resource about parenting a child on the spectrum after growing up with a sibling on the spectrum. One thing in particular I'd love to read more about or get tips about is how parents in a similar situation might talk to the siblings of the child on the spectrum, having been through that themselves growing up- i.e., ways to grapple with transference/projection, talk to siblings about autism, etc.
