Abstract

This paper presents the initial findings of a study carried out with siblings of autistic children. Its aim is to identify possible obstacles along such children's development process. Knowing that an individual is constructed through the instinctual relationship established with the Other and that in autism it does not occur, it is supposed that in the siblings of autistic children obstacles may arise for the creation of this bond.
