“Am I My Sibling’s Keeper?”: the Lived experiences of adult siblings of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder in China
The study concludes that in the Chinese context, the experience of adult NT siblings of IWASD dialectically unifies risk (e.g., ceded ideals) and resilience (e.g., pride as family stabilizer) under the core tenet of "sacrificing for the family". This offers a culturally centered, integrative perspective that supplements the dichotomous risk-resilience discussion in existing literature.
