A sibling' s life with a child who has one of a type of an autismus
MICHALCOVÁ, Šárka
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to analyse and describe the social aspects of the sibling of a child with an autism spectrum disorder (further referred as ASD). It describes how the implementation of care for a child with ASD through social services acts on a healthy sibling or whether he/she is involved in care in some way. Furthermore, this thesis deals with the financial side of the family. To what extent does a child with a disability, specifically a child with an ASD, influence a healthy sibling within the redistribution of funds. The qualitative research used techniques - semi-structured interview and focus group. The semi-structured interview is carried out with healthy siblings of children with ASD and their mothers took part in the focus group. Thanks to these techniques it was possible to conclude that a healthy sibling is not only neglected by society but also by parents. They unconsciously put pressure on their healthy children about the autonomy and future care of their sibling with ASD. The practical part presents the results in the form of open coding and categorization. The results show that siblings of children with ASD are heavily influenced and restricted. Parents put great emphasis on making everything fit for their children with disabilities and making their healthy children as independent as possible. From the results of interviews with healthy siblings, they feel like their "half parents" towards their siblings with ASD and they are aware of their concession in all respects.
