The present study examined 97 adolescent siblings of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), or no disabilities. Siblings reported on their feelings toward their brother or sister (anxiety, hostility, and positive affect), and parents reported on general optimism, child behavior problems, and perceptions of how the child impacts the family, including the sibling. There were no differences between siblings of individuals with ASD and siblings of individuals with IDD on any sibling self-reported feelings toward their brother or sister, though parents of individuals with ASD reported significantly less optimism and more negative perception of the child's impact on the family than did parents of children with IDD or no disability.
本研究调查了 97 名自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)、智力和发育障碍(IDD)或无残疾个体的青少年兄弟姐妹。兄弟姐妹报告了他们对弟弟或妹妹的感受(焦虑、敌意和积极情绪),父母报告了一般乐观、儿童行为问题以及对孩子如何影响家庭的看法,包括兄弟姐妹。在兄弟姐妹自我报告的对弟弟或妹妹的感受方面,ASD 个体的兄弟姐妹和 IDD 个体的兄弟姐妹之间没有差异,尽管 ASD 个体的父母报告的乐观程度明显较低,对孩子对家庭的影响的看法也较负面,而 IDD 个体或无残疾儿童的父母则不然。
