Predictors of cognitive test patterns in autism families

Article Abstract:

Tests of intelligence, reading, spelling and pragmatic language were given to parents and siblings of probands with autism (AU group) and to the parents and siblings of probands with trisomy 21 Down syndrome (DS group). AU parents scored lower on the WAIS-R Full Scale and Performance IQ on two subsets, but there were no differences between AU and DS siblings. AU parents reported a history of early language-related cognitive difficulties more often than DS parents.

Siblings, parents, and partners: Family relationships within a longitudinal community study

Article Abstract:

The links between variation in sibling relationships, earlier mother and partner relationships and concurrent parent-child relationships were examined. Individual differences in sibling relationship quality were linked to mother-partner affection and hostility, to contemporary parent-child negativity and to indices of social adversity, and evidence for direct and indirect pathways linking mother-partner and sibling relations were discovered.
