Understanding Emotional Regulation in Autism
This comprehensive document explores the complex relationship between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and emotional regulation. We examine the neurobiological foundations of emotional processing in autism, identify common challenges faced by individuals on the spectrum, and review evidence-based assessment tools and interventions. The document also covers the crucial role of caregivers and support systems, the use of technology and visual supports, and emerging research directions that promise to advance our understanding and support of emotional regulation in autism.
