Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2013, Vol 14, Issue 3
Abstract
The Master’s thesis is presented on 129 pages. The paper contains the following sections: introduction, theoretical approach to the problem of the research, research methodology, analysis of the results, discussion, conclusions, proposed measures, literature and articles. The introduction emphasizes the relationship between siblings as one of the basic interpersonal relationships among humans. If a family has an autistic member, some implications on the family and its functioning might arise, as well as on the relationship between the siblings. The presence of a child with autism alters the traditional role of a brother / sister in the family. Negative effects that may occur in the quality of the relationship between siblings, caused by having a child with autism in the family are: increased level of conflict, bitterness, resentment, loneliness, guilt, fear and reduced potential for conflict with peers outside the home. Of course, positive effects may also arise in the relationship between siblings in the family, such as: increased tolerance for diversity of others, kindness to others, increased levels of empathy, heightened sense of responsibility and maturity, a sense of happiness and well oriented view of life.
