Autism is a severe, long-term developmental disorder that potentially has substantial influence on different aspects of the family system. Principles from family-systems theory are considered as they relate to the autistic child within the family. A selective and critical review is presented of research findings on the influence of the autistic child on the functioning and interactions of family members, including parents, siblings, and the family as a whole. Research findings are also reviewed on resources associated with successful family adaptation to the autistic child. Suggestions are offered for improved research to assess the relationship between certain child variables and measures of family functioning.
自闭症是一种严重的、长期的发育障碍，可能会对家庭系统的各个方面产生重大影响。本文探讨了家庭系统理论中与家庭中自闭症儿童相关的原则。对关于自闭症儿童对家庭成员（包括父母、兄弟姐妹以及整个家庭）的功能和互动影响的研究结果进行了选择性的批判性综述。还回顾了与家庭成功适应自闭症儿童相关的资源的研究结果。本文提出了改进研究的建议，以评估某些儿童变量与家庭功能衡量指标之间的关系。
