Abstract

The present paper is entitled "The interaction and the emotional and behavioral well-being of siblings of persons with autism". It includes a research which is examined the relationship of siblings of persons with autism with their siblings, their involvement in intervention programs and strategies, and their emotional and behavioral well-being. The sample is 47 adult or minor siblings (five years of age or older) who were identified by random sampling from diagnosed cases of people with autism who have at least one brother or sister in randomly selected Educational and Counseling Support Centers (E.C.S.C.) of Greece. For the participation of the minor siblings, their parents completed a responsible statement which was given or sent by e-mail from them to the E.C.S.C.. The measuring tool used is a questionnaire that was sent by mail or email to the E.C.S.C. and from the E.C.S.C. to the participants and returned by each participant by hand or by email to E.C.S.C. and from the E.C.S.C. to the researcher. The analyzes used were mainly descriptive statistics, t-test and One Way ANOVA. The key findings after analyzing the results are that: (a the overall percentage of typical developing siblings participants in interaction and participation, in sensitivity well-being and behavioral well-being, and the level of behavioral well-being separately are relatively high. b) the degree of interaction and participation is moderate, c) the level of sensitivity is low, d) the gender of the autistic person and the gender of the typical developing sibling in combination with the severity (functionality) of the disorder affect the degree of interaction and participation and e) the sibling's age affects the emotional well-being, as siblings 0-12 years old exhibit more desirable behaviors than siblings at adolescence (13-17 years).
