Although children of impaired siblings are generally believed to be at risk of suffering from a variety of problems themselves, research studies indicate that living with impairment is not necessarily a harmful experience. This report reviews studies in this area, with particular emphasis on those involving autistic sibships. Although often lacking adequate experimental controls, the current literature suggests various factors that are likely to influence the risks on siblings. Possible ways of minimizing such risk factors are discussed.
尽管人们普遍认为，有残障兄弟姐妹的孩子自身也往往面临着出现各种问题的风险，但研究表明，与残障人士一起生活不一定是有害经历。本报告回顾了该领域的研究，特别强调了那些涉及自闭症兄弟姐妹关系的研究。尽管目前的文献常常缺乏充分的实验对照，但仍表明了各种可能影响兄弟姐妹风险的因素。文中还讨论了将这些风险因素降至最低的可能方法。
