Sibling Shaping Social Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Prabhjot Kaur

Autism Spectrum Disorder [ASD] has been associated with disturbances in communication, socialization, and behavior. These children are limited in their skill to form peer relationships, limited in academics, and unable to manage their daily activities on their own. Siblings, being the ones with whom children with ASD have the first and most important relationship, have a significant impact on the social and play behavior of these children and may prove to be the social agents through which ASD children progress.
