Autistic spectrum disorders are a set of disorders with a deficit in communication and social interaction. The impact on various aspects of the lives of children with autism is noted. The psychological and pedagogical characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorders depend on the need to study the causes of autism spectrum disorders in more depth, as well as violations of the social integration of children with autism.
Aim - to conduct a systematic analysis of scientific sources on the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorders.
The psychological and pedagogical characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorders prove the presence of special behavioral states associated with disorders of the child's brain functioning. It is necessary to form in autistic people the ability to orient their behavior to the social environment: how to speak or act, how not to. The characteristics prove that children with autism spectrum disorders try to repeat those actions for which they received positive attention and approval. The interests of people with autism spectrum disorders are limited. There are unusual reactions to sensory stimuli. There is a need to form socially positive value orientations in children with autism, which is necessary for their development. There is inadequate behavior in children with autism spectrum disorders in a mild form (such as: shouting in the classroom, rocking on a chair, can interfere with the teacher in class), or in a more severe form (aggression or autoaggression).
Children with autism are more anxious than normotypical children. This category of children has problems with pragmatics: correct use of speech, with semantics: they have a limited vocabulary, as well as impaired sensory perception. There is a need to improve the system for preventing tantrums and stressful conditions in children with autism spectrum disorders. Parents, guardians and medical and social specialists need to remain calm when working with autistic people.
The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.
