Abstract

Emerging adults were interviewed about the impact of having a sibling who has an intellectual disability (ID). Retrospective narratives were collected regarding the high/low points of growing up with that sibling and were analyzed for tone and affect. Quantitative measures explored family cohesion, sibling relationship, and well-being of the participant.
