Comparison of sibling relationships and social anxiety levels of adolescents with autistic brotherhood and autistic brotherhood

In this study, it was aimed to compare social anxiety levels with brotherhood associations of 200 adolescents who have autistic siblings and do not have autistic siblings. In this study, the adolescents sitting in the Istanbul bulbul constitute participants. Two different personal information forms were first prepared for two separate groups, namely the autistic brother and the autistic brother, and this information form was distributed to the appropriate adolescents, followed by the fraternal relationship scale and the social anxiety scale. SPSS was used for the use of this data, and t-test was used to compare quantitative continuous data between two independent groups. One way ANOVA test was used to compare quantitative continuous data between two independent groups. The Scheffe test was used as a complementary post-hoc analysis to determine the differences after the Anova test. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that adolescents with autistic siblings experienced more social anxiety. Keywords: Autism, Social anxiety, Brotherhood relations
