Abstract
Background and Purpose: Living with a child with special needs has unique challenges and may affect
the mental health of the siblings. The aim of this study was to compare the psychological profile of children
with siblings with and without autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome.
Method: The design of the present study was casual-comparative. The population of this study consisted
of all the children aged six to twelve with siblings with and without autism spectrum disorder or Down
syndrome in Rasht in 2020. The sample size was 55 people (15 in each of the groups with siblings with
neurodevelopmental disorder and 25 in the control group). The first and second group by purposive
sampling method and the third group was selected by convenience sampling. The Checklist for Behavioral
Disorders in Children (Achenbach and Ildbrook, 1983) was completed by the child’s mother. Data were
analyzed using analysis of variance.
Results: The results showed that the difference between the three groups was significant in terms of
withdraw / depression, anxiety / depression and aggressive behavior. The findings in relation to all three
subscales were such that children with siblings with Down syndrome scored higher than children with
normal siblings (p<0.05). Also, children with siblings with autism spectrum disorder scored higher on the
Anxiety / Depression subscale than children with normal siblings (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Siblings of people with neurodevelopmental disorders are at risk for psychological problems.
