“…That is, siblings of people with ASD are more likely to believe that their brother or sister is a "problem" for the family or the classroom. Additionally, compared to siblings of individuals without disabilities, siblings of individuals with ASD report more overall negative feelings toward their brother or sister (Shivers and McGregor 2019). Importantly, however, siblings of individuals with ASD do not report lower levels of positive feelings toward their brother or sister (Shivers and McGregor 2019).…”

“…Overall, siblings of individuals with ASD tend to have less positive relationships with their brother or sister, even when compared to siblings of individuals with other intellectual and developmental disabilities (Shivers et al 2019). Siblings of individuals with ASD who exhibit high levels of behavior problems also tend to have lower levels of warmth and closeness in the sibling relationships (Hastings and Petalas 2014).…”

“…An important part of the sibling relationship is how the typically developing siblings feel about their brother or sister with ASD. Siblings of individuals with ASD have, on average, more negative beliefs about people with disabilities in general (Shivers et al 2019). That is, siblings of people with ASD are more likely to believe that their brother or sister is a "problem" for the family or the classroom.…”

“…Furthermore, adolescents whose siblings with IDDs were males presented more stress than whose siblings were females. Compared with those whose siblings did not have IDDs, TD adolescents whose siblings had ASD presented higher level of dysphoria, while whose siblings had other IDDs (e.g., ID) did not [17]. Some potential stressors for TD adolescents of siblings with different syndromes were detected [12].…”

Individuals possess IDDs face challenges and require lifelong support regarding to learning, social interaction, and self-care. Having siblings diagnosed with IDDs tend to bring great impact on the typical developing (TD) siblings in the same family. Based on the special developmental characteristics of adolescents, the effect of having siblings with IDDs tend to be different on them, compared with it on other age groups (e.g., children, adults). This study conducted a systematic review for literatures focusing on adolescents who had siblings with IDDs, in terms of their daily life experience, adjustment behaviours, and relationship with their siblings. Twenty-seven studies were included, wherein the TD adolescents were interviewed or surveyed in various methods. The studies were summarized according to country, publication time, participant demographics, research methodology, study focus, and results. Results suggested that siblings with IDDs brought warmth and challenges to the daily experience of TD adolescents. TD adolescents developed both positive and negative attitudes and adjustment behaviours toward their siblings with IDDs. Adolescents' adjustment behaviours included their psychological well-being and strategies coping with the siblings' behaviours. This review further investigated relevant factors of adolescents' different performance and suggested the need of support from parents, peers, community, professions, and other TD adolescents who were in similar conditions. Given the existence of adjustment difficulties and insufficient support resources, this study come up with domains referential for practical support to the targeted population.

“…Despite these general patterns, it is important to note that there are some discrepancies. In the ASD literature, one study found no differences in relationship quality between adolescents with a sibling with ASD and a sibling with ID (Shivers & McGregor, 2019). Among other types of disabilities, one study on anxiety disorders found no effect on sibling relationship quality for adolescents (Lindhout et al, 2003).…”

In many contexts worldwide, most people grow up with one or more siblings. The current paper reviews research on sibling relationship quality (closeness, communication, and conflict) in adolescence and young adulthood in four different contexts: primarily White North American and European samples (132 articles reviewed); ethnic minority families (26 articles reviewed); China (6 articles reviewed); and when one sibling has a disability (21 articles reviewed). Where the literature was available, within each context we addressed five questions: how does sibling relationship quality change from adolescence through young adulthood, how are demographic and structural characteristics linked to sibling relationship quality, how is sibling relationship quality linked to adjustment and behavior, how are familial relationships and processes linked to sibling relationship quality, and how is sibling relationship quality linked to non-familial relationships. Included articles were published between 2001 and 2021 and included aspects of sibling closeness, communication, or conflict in adolescence or young adulthood. Across all contexts, individual (e.g., gender) and dyadic characteristics (e.g., gender composition, birth order) play a role in siblings’ relationship qualities. In several contexts, the current literature suggests that sibling closeness and communication are linked to positive development, well-being, and healthy relationships with other social partners. In multiple contexts, sibling conflict is linked to poorer well-being and negative relationships with other social partners. These broad patterns, however, are qualified by each context and often multiple moderators.
