现有的研究表明，有残疾兄弟姐妹对孩子的影响结果好坏参半。然而，自闭症儿童的兄弟姐妹可能比其他残疾儿童的兄弟姐妹更有风险。在目前的研究中，收集了22名自闭症儿童的兄弟姐妹的数据。这些孩子被他们的母亲评为比正常样本有更多的行为问题和亲社会行为。对预测兄弟姐妹行为调整的变量的分析显示，兄弟姐妹患有自闭症的男孩，以及比兄弟姐妹患有自闭症的男孩更小的男孩，亲社会行为更少。母亲的心理调整（压力）和自闭症儿童（行为问题）不能预测兄弟姐妹的行为调整。
Existing research studies have shown mixed results relating to the impact upon children of having a sibling with a disability. However, siblings of children with autism may be more at risk than siblings of children with other disabilities. In the present study, data were gathered on 22 siblings of children with autism. These children were rated by their mothers as having more behavior problems and fewer prosocial behaviors than a normative sample. Analysis of variables predicting sibling behavioral adjustment revealed that boys with siblings who have autism, and also those younger than their sibling with autism, engaged in fewer prosocial behaviors. Psychological adjustment of mothers (stress) and the child with autism (behavior problems) were not predictive of sibling behavioral adjustment.
