他不重,他是我兄弟



從基因與遺傳的角度,有證據顯示,患有泛自閉症障礙症候群(autism spectrum disorderASD)的兒童之手足,即便沒有被診斷出患有ASD,卻仍有可能出現社會或行為調適問題的風險(1)
 從手足關係而言,當手足都沒有任何障礙時,手足之間的親密程度在青少年和成人前期會下降,到中年和晚年時再上升。然而,當手足患有ASD時,手足之間實質接觸雖會隨著時間減少,但無ASD的個人對於患有ASD的手足仍能保有穩定的正向情感與親密程度(2)

最後,對於ASD患者的手足而言,手足患有ASD的事實是否會對手足關係與個人調適帶來影響,值得發展更具理論性的觀點,並提出基於理論的假設加以檢驗(3)
