Abstract in brief
- The study conducted a meta-analysis of 69 samples to compare how siblings of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASDSibs) function psychologically, socially, and behaviorally, finding that ASDSibs tend to have more negative outcomes in many areas.
- Key areas where ASDSibs fare worse include internalizing behavior, psychological well-being, beliefs about disability, social relationships, and anxiety or depression symptoms, though they do not show significant differences in externalizing behaviors, attention issues, or family functioning.
- Compared to siblings of individuals with other disabilities or no disabilities, ASDSibs generally experience more challenges, highlighting the need for targeted family support and interventions to help these siblings cope better.]
