Perceived Competence and Behavioral Adjustment of Siblings of Children with Autism.

Rodrigue, James R.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v23 n4 p665-74 Dec 1993

This study found that siblings (n=19) of severely autistic children, siblings of children with Down's syndrome, and siblings of normal children did not differ on measures of perceived self-competence or parents' report of social competence. Siblings of autistic children had more internalizing and externalizing behavior problems than siblings of normal children. (Author/JDD)
