Peter Jackson asked:


What would it be like working with an autistic child who cannot stand to be scolded? Would this trigger him / her upset / angry / frustrated / pannicky / revved up as if his / her anger is stronger? How much intensive behavioral therapy would it require? Would it be a serious issue for the child or a minor issue?
Is it true that an average growing autistic child / teen / adult has delays in emotional maturity despite their condition (even if high functioning autistics are very very bright)? Delays in more appropriate feelings (such as teenagers-20 something displaying childlike emotions) and that despite their condition, their feelings are essentially below the adult maturity level?
Autistics have difficulty with dealing with certain situations despite changes in schedule or routine, sensory overload, fears, etc.. Panic and Anxiety is evident in an autistic individual. When a person is growing up with the condition, is it true that their anger, frustration, emotions, whatsoever, is essentially below their normal level (levels that aren’t age-appropriate)?
What I am trying to ask is, would a growing high functioning autistic adult (late-teens, 20s, adulthood) have delays in emotional maturity levels? Delays in which their anger, frustrations, emotions, feeling abilities fall in the low average range, delays in which their feelings aren’t at their normal level (even if the growing individual is very intelligent)?
