This qualitative study examines the childhood experiences of growing up with a sibling with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) from an outsider's perspective. The study finds that the participants' experiences can be categorized into three main themes: witnessing the challenges faced by their sibling with DCD, experiencing the impact on the family, and a lack of knowledge. Not all experiences were negative, as some participants found benefits such as support, empathy, resilience, and success.
This qualitative study explored the childhood experiences of growing up with a sibling with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) to offer an 'outsider's' view of this condition. Ten individuals who had grown up with a sibling with DCD were interviewed about their experiences. Data were analysed using Thematic Analysis. Analysis described three main themes: i)'witnessing the challenges for their sibling with DCD' ii) 'experiencing the impact on the family'; iii) 'a vacuum of knowledge'. Not all experiences were negative and transcending these themes was the notion 'resolution and finding benefit' highlighting access to support, being more empathic and resilient, becoming a role model for others and finding success. Participants play witness to their sibling's experiences which can often be negative sometimes impacted by a vacuum of knowledge but they also describe how a diagnosis of DCD comes with some benefits which are discussed in the context of 'posttraumatic growth'.
