Siblings of Autistic Children: Their Adjustment and Performance at Home and in School.

Mates, Thomas E.

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v20 n4 p545-53 Dec 1990

This study examined the relationship between (1) sex and family size of 33 siblings of autistic children; and (2) siblings' performance on achievement, self-concept, home behavior, and school behavior measures. Overall, the siblings' performance was not suggestive of a need for special intervention. (Author/JDD)
