Temperament and children in the autism spectrum

Here is an excellent article on the temperment in Autistic Children. My husbands grandson was recently diagnosed with autism and we parents and grandparents need all the information we can get...

Not surprisingly, children in the autism spectrum were more likely to be slow to adapt to change, more withdrawal in nature, more negative in their first impressions, and experienced a lower sensory threshold than typically developing children. The study showed that those children in the spectrum who were less negatively inclined in the different temperament factors, did better and were more willing to work with professionals. They especially found that those with a more positive first impression and more approachability adapted to life functions the best.

So for a parent, or a teacher working with a child in the spectrum, what does this mean? It means that getting to understand the traits of temperament are important when developing plans of intervention. For most of these children, a slower, more predictable method of intervention is important. Less turnover of caregivers and associates is important. More social support to master and transfer skills is important, with the goal of independence to be a longer term goal than for the child who is more approachable.
