L'influence
du phénotype de l'autisme plus large (BAP) sur l'ajustement des frères
et sœurs des enfants avec un diagnostic d'autisme a déjà été étudiée
principalement dans les cultures occidentales.
Alors
que les niveaux de BAP plus élevés étaient généralement associés à de
plus grandes difficultés d'ajustement, des différences ont été trouvées
entre les cultures et les personnes interrogées. Bien
que des interactions significatives entre la prédisposition et le stress
aient été trouvées, elles étaient dans la direction opposée à celles
prédites par le modèle et différaient selon les contextes culturels.

Abstract
The
influence of the broader autism phenotype (BAP) on the adjustment of
siblings of children with autism has previously been researched mainly
in Western cultures. The present research evaluated a diathesis-stress
model of sibling adjustment using a questionnaire study including 80 and
75 mother-typically developing sibling dyads in Taiwan and the United
Kingdom (UK). UK siblings reported elevated adjustment difficulties
compared to the Taiwanese sample and to normative data. Whilst higher
BAP levels were generally associated with greater adjustment
difficulties, differences were found across cultures and respondents.
Although significant diathesis-stress interactions were found, these
were in the opposite direction from those predicted by the model, and
differed across cultural settings. Implications for culturally-sensitive
sibling support are considered.
