Book excerpt: As siblings play an important role in one another's cognitive, affective, behavioral, and social development, the sibling relationship is an important subsystem within the family unit. However, in families where one child has an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, the dynamics between family members may be different due to the associated deficits in communication. Therefore, the purpose of this mixed method study was to explore the perceptions of six typically developing children with a sibling with autism and their parents. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were used for both parents and the typically developing child, which allowed for an in-depth investigation into the sibling relationship. Identification of major themes followed by focused coding was conducted in order to capture the essence of what was said and to categorize the most frequent themes. Overall, both parents and typically developing children had positive and negative things to say about the relationship. Additionally, typically developing children seem to be at a loss for coping strategies that they consider helpful, perhaps due to their own poor emotional regulation skills. This study emphasizes the need to support typically developing children and their development, as well as parents. Parents also identified other themes beyond the sibling relationship such as the perceived poor quality of public services received, the school experience, and their reactions towards the diagnosis.
Book Synopsis Sibling Relationships Across the Life Span by : Victor Cicirelli
Download or read book Sibling Relationships Across the Life Span written by Victor Cicirelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one begins to examine the existing literature dealing with siblings, one soon becomes aware that many separate domains of sibling research exist and that there is little connection between them; for example, sibling relationships in early childhood, genetic and environmental influences on individual differences between siblings, dysfunctional sibling relation ships, adult sibling helping relationships, sibling violence and abuse, and so on. The author's aim in writing this book was to attempt to bring together for the first time studies from diverse areas of sibling research into a single volume. The book is a summary and integration of the various domains of sibling studies, extending across the life span where studies exist to make this possible. Although many gaps in the sibling research literature within and between domains of study and over the life span still exist, it is hoped that this book will motivate others to help fill in the gaps by suggesting direc tions where further research is needed.
Book Synopsis A Targeted Intervention for Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Amy P. Hansford
Download or read book A Targeted Intervention for Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Amy P. Hansford and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sibling relationship provides a unique context for the development of interpersonal skills and lays the groundwork for extensive social situations with other children. Siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) experience multiple stressors and increased caregiver demands that children with neurotypical siblings do not face. While some siblings do not experience significant adjustment problems, it appears that other children may have greater vulnerability to the development of significant adjustment problems and internalizing disorders. Very few studies have investigated the effect of a support group for children who have a sibling with ASD. The present study evaluated the effects of Project SibSTAR (Straight Talk about Autism Realities), an eight week support group that incorporated didactics, discussion, and role plays while using rigorous research design and psychometrically-sound measures. Twenty siblings of children with ASD were randomized to either the active or delayed intervention group. While the groups received the same intervention, the time-lagged design allowed for the assessment of a multiple baseline design across both groups and skills. In addition, participants reported on measures of psychological and social functioning at baseline, post group, and 6 week follow-up assessments. During these assessment sessions, data were also collected on play-based interactions within the sibling dyad. Outcomes were assessed across a variety of domains, including intervention acceptability, concepts taught during group, play-based behavioral principles, and self-report of internalizing symptoms, self-competence, and perceived social support. Results indicated that participants increased their knowledge of autism, coping and problem solving skills, and their knowledge of behavioral skills. Further, trend level decreases in internalizing symptoms were found from baseline to post group assessment, and significant differences were found on measures of perceived social support and social self-competence. While participants indicated high satisfaction with the intervention package, no significant differences were noted on play-based interactions with their sibling. The implications and future directions of this line of research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to the memory and work of Lisa Capps, this volume is a forum for scholars and practitioners interested in the typical and atypical development of persons with autism. Each chapter is focused on theoretical considerations and the empirical evidence regarding a specific aspect of functioning, but common themes of development are considered throughout. Within this framework, the contributors provide a detailed and comprehensive account of the development of persons with autism. The book is divided into four sections: (1) Developmental, Neurobiological, Genetic, and Family Considerations; (2) Attention and Perception; (3) Cognition, Theory of Mind, and Executive Functioning; and (4) Social and Adaptive Behaviors. With the consideration of this broad range of topics, this volume is both a state-of-the-art resource about autism and a unique contribution to the study of development. It will be of interest to researchers and care providers from several domains, including psychology, psychiatry, social work, developmental psychology, and education. This volume can be used as a text in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, and as a resource in applied settings.

Download or read book The Ride Together written by Paul Karasik and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We looked like a cup of human fruit cocktail dumped onto the top of the house, each piece different but all out of the same can. So begins a book unlike any other, half comics and half text, about a family that lives with autism -- and the strange life that is ordinary to them. The oldest son, David, recites Superman episodes as he walks around the living room. A late-night family poker game spirals into a fog-driven duel. A thug from an old black-and-white rerun crawls out of the television. A housekeeper transforms into an avenging angel. A broken plate signals a terrible change in the family that none of them can prevent...until it's too late. This groundbreaking work was excerpted in The New York Times for its ability to honestly, eloquently, and respectfully set forth what life is like with autism in the family. What sets The Ride Together apart is its combination of imagination and realism -- its vision of a family's inner world -- with David at the center.

Book Synopsis Autism and the Family by : Kate E. Fiske
Download or read book Autism and the Family written by Kate E. Fiske and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ready-to-implement resources and approaches for effective professional care in school and clinical settings. The reverberations of autism spectrum disorders among parents and siblings can be complex. Parents may grapple with the impact of their child's initial diagnosis, wrestle with the tension between their professional ambitions and family obligations, and labor to maintain a healthy union with their partners. Brothers and sisters may be given less attention, asked to assume a more adult role than they feel ready for, or strive for meaningful connection and communication with their sibling and parents. Although the energy of clinicians, teachers, and other professionals working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder is often focused intensively on the child who is diagnosed, the practitioner can also be an invaluable resource for the child's family. Drawing upon clinical research and firsthand family interviews, this book helps clinicians understand the experiences of parents and siblings of a child with ASD from the time of diagnosis through adulthood. It provides clear recommendations for sensitive, informed professional support. Step-by-step in each chapter, Fiske elucidates such vital subjects as: Understanding the experience of diagnosis Recognizing patterns of parent stress over time Appreciating and navigating the effects of ASD on relationships between parents Involving and providing support for siblings Integrating grandparents and other extended family in care and treatment Understanding a family's culture Identifying and developing effective coping strategies Building a strong rapport with parents and family Guiding parents in the treatment of autism And many more, including key takeaways for assisting families in managing feelings of grief and guilt, navigating support options, treatment resources, and related financial concerns, and calibrating the division of labor in the home. Autism and the Family supplies all the foundations necessary for professionals to understand the full impact of ASD on the child, siblings, and parents and cultivate an empathic, supportive approach to treatment for the entire family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study illuminates the lived experience of five adult siblings growing up in a family with a sibling or siblings diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The participants completed two semistructured interviews designed to elicit a narrative about their perceptions regarding their relationships within their family constellation with an emphasis on the relationship with their siblings diagnosed with ASD. Data was analyzed by virtue of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and further conceptualized through a psychodynamic lens. Five master themes were identified regarding participants’ experience while growing up with their sibling(s) diagnosed with autism: responsibility, ambivalence, anxiety, limitations, and support. Subthemes included family legacy, maturation, compliance, guilt and phantasy, memory, stress, birth order, family outings, separations, and having needs. Findings indicated the imperative of offering or requiring early intervention with individual psychotherapy in addition to sibling support groups for child with a sibling diagnosed with autism. For adult siblings, long-term psychodynamic treatment is recommended to examine repressed and foreclosed states of mind and to provide an understanding of complexities associated with birth order, the false self, and internal splitting. The study emphasizes the importance of informed mental health care professionals who can enhance treatment methods when considering this population’s unique family situation.
