The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of peer victimization, mood disorders (Major Depressive Disorder, Dysthymic Disorder) and anxiety disorder (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) among siblings of individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). A web based survey was used to collect data on siblings of individuals on the spectrum. A sample of 10 females was finalized for the purpose of analyses. The mean age of the participants was 25.9 years (SD=9.21). The sample of 10 suggested a high proportion of respondents with scores above the cutoff point on the overt victimization and relational victimization scales suggest that siblings experienced high levels of victimization. From the sample, 70% met the diagnostic criteria for Major Depressive Disorder. In addition, 40% of the sample met the diagnostic criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Siblings reported high levels of support from family. Discussion related to future research, assessment and treatment are presented.
