“…In terms of comparing these two groups, precise considerations should be made because not only the selection of cases and controls may be affected by selection bias, the mothers' responses may be affected by the comparison of a healthy child with the ASD one, as well. Another finding of this study was the lack of relationship between social and behavioral disorders and gender that was confirmed in the study of Pourbagheri et al (14); however, Hesse and colleague presented more severe social disorders in girl Sib-A than boys and argued that the social developmental pattern was affected by maternal anxiety toward her autistic child (24).…”

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a psychiatric disorder with a spectrum of symptoms, including impaired social interactions, impaired verbal and non-verbal communications, and limited and repetitive patterns of behaviors. The incidence of social and emotional disorders in siblings of an autistic child and relationship with having an autistic sibling is a matter of debate. The current study is aimed to assess the socio-behavioral development in the sibling of an autistic child (Sib-A). Methods: The current case-control study has been conducted on 51 Sib-A and 138 children without any autistic sibling (Sib-H). In order to assess social development, the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) that consists of 5 subscales of social awareness, social cognition, social communication, social motivation, and restricted interests and behavior was used. The behavioral status was assessed using the Strength and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) in 5 subscales of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer communications problems, and prosocial behaviors. Eventually, the findings of the two groups were compared. Results: The mean score of SRS in cases was 43.35±36.84 and in controls 29.69 ± 11.20 (P-value = 0.012). Besides, the two groups were different in all subscales (P-value < 0.05) except social motivation (P-value = 0.1). The comparison of SDQ revealed a significant difference between the cases with a mean score of 5.93±5.53 and controls with 3.26 ± 2.57 (P-value = 0.011). Besides, the two groups were different in all subscales (P-value < 0.05) except for conduct problems (P-value = 0.1). Conclusion: The siblings of autistic children showed more socio-behavioral problems than the controls. The genetically or nurturing of these problems should be investigated.

“…Consistent with the broader literature on child risk and resiliency, siblings' adjustment to their brother's/sister's diagnosis and related stressors is correlated with parental stress and family support (e.g., Hesse et al, 2013). An increased number of families are experiencing stress related to the COVID‐19 pandemic and the economic downturn, and this may be especially true for families of children with disabilities (UNICEF, 2020) and racial/ethnic minority status (e.g., Webb Hooper et al, 2020).…”

In the United States, there are over 4.5 million people who have special health, developmental, or behavioral health concerns. Most of these people have typically developing, relatively healthy brothers and sisters. Over recent decades, more attention has been paid to these siblings in clinical settings, schools, and research studies. Siblings are both impacted by and have an impact on their brothers' and sisters' conditions. While a range of positive and negative effects have been reported for siblings, we know that they are at greater risk for developing academic, emotional, and behavioral problems than siblings of typically developing, healthy children.

“…A satisfação parental é preditora de ajustamento entre irmãos neurotípicos (Hesse, Danko, & Budd, 2013), relacionando-se com o fato de que, ao se sentirem mais satisfeitos com os cuidados de uma criança com autismo, os pais passam a ver a adaptação dos irmãos como positiva, como um reflexo da sua própria adaptação. No entanto, nem todos os irmãos estão satisfeitos com a quantidade de tempo e estilos parentais usados por seus cuidadores, principalmente quando estes não conseguem dividir de maneira igualitária as atenções entre os irmãos, podendo sentir-se negligenciados ou menos importantes em comparação com o irmão diagnosticado (Cezar & Smeha, 2016).…”

Uma revisão integrativa da literatura científica nacional e internacional sobre autismo e família analisou 91 artigos publicados entre 2013 e 2020. Prevaleceram artigos internacionais, empíricos, com delineamento qualitativo, realizados com cuidadores, com foco em experiências que levam a altos níveis de estresse, depressão e sobrecarga familiar. A análise de conteúdo dos artigos gerou quatro categorias: vivências, desafios e manutenção das relações familiares (n= 38); recursos e estratégias para enfrentar os desafios (n= 29); subsistema fraterno (n= 10); e rede de apoio social (n= 14). Os resultados são úteis para pensar pesquisas e trabalhos voltados para famílias com crianças autistas a partir de perspectivas ainda pouco estudadas e que incluem seus aspectos positivos e fortalecedores na leitura das adversidades vivenciadas.
