Depression and Social Adjustment in Siblings of Boys with Autism.
Gold, Nora
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v23 n1 p147-63 Mar 1993
Twenty-two siblings of autistic boys and 34 other siblings were compared on measures of depression, social adjustment, and family responsibilities. Results showed that siblings of autistic boys scored significantly higher on depression than the comparison group, but not on problems of social adjustment. There were no significant gender differences. (Author/DB)
