The experience of family members of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is not uniform. This study focused on mothers of a child with ASD (Study 1) and typically developing siblings (TDSs) during their emerging adulthood (Study 2). Similarities and differences were explored regarding a proposed model examining the paths of perceived social support (PSS) and normalization (a coping strategy) with subjective well-being: satisfaction with life (SWL) and positive affect (PA). Similarities were found in the paths between PSS, normalization, and SWL, in mothers and TDSs, but differences emerged regarding PA. These findings highlight the importance of PSS as a resource that contributes to normalization and SWL. Professional awareness of family members' PSS and their engagement in normalization is needed.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患儿家庭成员的经历并不一致。本研究聚焦于患有ASD儿童的母亲（研究1）以及处于成年初期的发育正常的兄弟姐妹（TDS，研究2）。针对一个提出的模型进行了异同探讨，该模型考察了感知社会支持（PSS）和正常化（一种应对策略）与主观幸福感（即生活满意度（SWL）和积极情感（PA））之间的路径。在母亲和TDS中，PSS、正常化和SWL之间的路径存在相似之处，但在PA方面出现了差异。这些发现凸显了PSS作为一种有助于正常化和SWL的资源的重要性。需要专业人员了解家庭成员的PSS及其在正常化过程中的参与情况。
