A novice teacher will receive a student with ASD in her classroom next semester. She has heard that students with ASD have no emotions. What would you say to her?
What will be an ideal response?
Individuals with ASD do feel as much as people without ASD; however, proper expression and interpretation of emotions may be a challenge for them. They can be less likely to interpret and understand verbal or nonverbal expression in others. They may also have difficulty understanding or managing their own emotions. When experiencing stress or sensory overload, they are at greater risk for tantrums or rages that look like “meltdowns.” Students should also clarify that the disorder’s symptoms vary so widely and this teacher can only learn the specific characteristics by getting to know her student.
