Are typically-developing siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder at risk for behavioral, emotional, and social maladjustment? / Theodore S. TOMENY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.508-518 Titre : Are typically-developing siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder at risk for behavioral, emotional, and social maladjustment? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Theodore S. TOMENY, Auteur ; Tammy D. BARRY, Auteur ; Stephanie H. BADER, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.508-518 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Siblings  Externalizing  Internalizing  Social functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Existing literature regarding the adjustment of siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains inconclusive, with some studies showing positive adjustment, others showing negative adjustment, and others showing no difference when compared to siblings of typically-developing children. For the current study, 42 parents of a child with an ASD and a typically-developing sibling (ASD group) and 42 parents of two typically-developing siblings (control group) provided data via online questionnaires. Both diagnostic category and autism symptom severity were tested as possible moderators, but neither produced significant interactions with either externalizing behaviors or internalizing symptoms in the target child when predicting externalizing behaviors, internalizing symptoms, or social problems in the sibling. However, across the overall sample (ASD and control groups), maladjustment – particularly internalizing symptoms – in the target children significantly related to maladjustment in their siblings. Thus, these findings suggest that having a sibling with an ASD is neither a risk nor protective factor for maladjustment among typically-developing siblings above and beyond the relation between maladjustment among siblings in general. Given some of the mixed findings in the literature, other possible moderators that may put siblings of a child with an ASD at specific risk should be considered in future research.

Birth order rank as a moderator of the relation between behavior problems among children with an autism spectrum disorder and their siblings / Theodore S. TOMENY in Autism, 18-2 (February 2014)

For this study, 42 parents of a child with an autism spectrum disorder and a typically- developing sibling provided data via online questionnaires. Birth order rank of the child with an autism spectrum disorder significantly moderated the relation between externalizing behaviors in children with an autism spectrum disorder and externalizing behaviors in their typically-developing siblings. Children with an autism spectrum disorder and higher levels of behavior problems had typically-developing siblings with higher levels of behavior problems only when the child with an autism spectrum disorder was older. These results provide a hint of clarification about the complex nature of sibling relations, but a great deal more research is needed to further examine outcomes of typically-developing siblings of children with an autism spectrum disorder.

In addition to characteristics of the children with ASD, family contextual factors may also predict sibling adjustment. Method This study examined parent marital status and parental stress as moderators of the relation between ASD siblings’ symptom severity and emotional and behavioral adjustment in 56 TD sisters via self- and parent-report. Results At moderate and high levels of parental stress, TD sisters with siblings with relatively severe ASD symptomatology and with unmarried parents reported the highest levels of emotional and behavioral difficulties. Yet, TD sisters with siblings with relatively less severe ASD symptomatology and with unmarried parents reported the lowest levels of challenging behaviors and emotional symptoms. Conclusions These findings indicate that clinicians treating families of children with relatively severe ASD and unmarried parents should be particularly cognizant of the functioning of TD sisters.

Enhancing social interactions for youth with autism spectrum disorder through training programs for typically developing peers: A systematic review / Allison M. BIRNSCHEIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 84 (June 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 84 (June 2021) . - 101784 Titre : Enhancing social interactions for youth with autism spectrum disorder through training programs for typically developing peers: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Allison M. BIRNSCHEIN, Auteur ; Courtney A. PAISLEY, Auteur ; Theodore S. TOMENY, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101784 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anti-stigma training  Autism spectrum disorder  Peers  Social interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) characteristically demonstrate deficits in social communication, making it challenging for children and adolescents with ASD to form and maintain friendships. Widely implemented social skills interventions aim to ameliorate these deficits through explicit instruction. Despite reported gains in social competency, many children with ASD may not successfully generalize learned social skills to interactions outside the interventions. One barrier to generalization may be stigma from typically developing (TD) peers. Specifically, TD peers who could serve as social partners for individuals with ASD often perceive the social behavior of children with ASD as atypical and demonstrate negative attitudes toward and a preference for social distance from these individuals. Method This systematic review aimed to identify the techniques employed by, and the impact of, TD peer intervention programs providing TD school-age children and adolescents with information about ASD and those training peers to be peer social models on peer perceptions of ASD. This search was conducted using three databases (i.e., PsychINFO, PubMed, Web of Science) and found 14 articles meeting inclusion criteria. Results Results demonstrate that peer training programs employ multiple methods including didactic trainings, group discussions, activities, opportunities for video or in-person exposure to individuals with ASD, and opportunities to implement learned strategies with peers to disseminate varying levels and types of information (e.g., descriptive, explanatory, directive) about ASD to participants. Conclusions Overall, results of such TD peer training programs demonstrate significant reductions in peer stigma and improvements in peer mediating abilities post-intervention.

TOMENY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.907-911 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The link between autism spectrum disorder symptoms and maternal stress has been well established, yet many mothers remain resilient to more severe psychopathology. For the current online study, 111 mothers of a child with autism spectrum disorder completed questionnaires about their child?s symptoms, their own stress related to parenting, and any psychopathology symptoms they were experiencing. Autism spectrum disorder symptom severity was positively related to both parenting stress and maternal psychopathology symptoms. Furthermore, parenting stress mediated the relation between autism spectrum disorder symptom severity and maternal psychopathology symptoms. These results provide evidence for a pathway through which psychopathology may develop among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder and a potential point of intervention for clinicians serving this population.
