Title
A Useful Strategy to Regulate Emotions for Children and Teens with Autism
Author
Jonathan Lai
Summary
This online article provides a brief summary of an American research study that measured the emotional reactions of young people with and without autism in various scenarios. The article found that children with autism were less likely to use cognitive reappraisal (shifting their thinking about the event) to regulate their emotions, but they could benefit from this strategy being taught to them.
The Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research group, based out of York University, writes summaries of research studies on autism and developmental disabilities to inform parents, individuals with autism, practitioners, and the general public on recent findings about autism.
