The spectrum of autistic disorders refers to a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by difficulties in communication and social interaction, as well as the presence of limited, rigid and routine patterns of behavior and interests. Children with autistic disorders have symptoms of anxiety and depression, which increase the level of cognitive, social and behavioral problems. The purpose of the article was to determine the aspects of modern psychological support for children with a spectrum of autistic disorders in the context of military aggression. To achieve this goal, the following scientific methods were used: theoretical generalization and grouping, formalization, analysis, synthesis and generalization of the results. Results. It is known that children with autism spectrum disorders have emotional and behavioral problems that are associated with increased levels of stress. In the context of the ongoing military aggression, this is associated with a deterioration in mental health. Although the existing literature on the relationship between trauma and autism is limited, new data indicate an increased vulnerability of children with autism spectrum disorders to the psychological consequences of traumatic events, including an increased risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition, parents of such children often experience an increased level of negative emotional states compared to parents of children who usually develop normally. Based on a review of the literature, it is suggested that children with autism may be more prone to moral suffering, experiencing more intense and longer subjective reactions to moral violations. In addition, it may be more difficult for them to overcome and neutralize moral outrage. As a result, they may be more susceptible to negative mental health outcomes and impaired social functioning. A common feature of children with autism spectrum disorders is strict adherence to their schedule, and disruption of their daily routine can cause significant distress. It has been determined that adaptation to a new daily routine, environmental changes and uncertainty associated with military aggression cause suffering in children with autism spectrum disorders, worsening both the main signs of the disease and the child's overall mental health. The identified features indicate the need for special attention and specific psychological assistance to children with autism spectrum disorders in the face of modern challenges. There is evidence that cognitive-behavioral therapy is an effective treatment method that helps reduce anxiety and stress in children with autism spectrum disorders. Conclusions. In the context of military aggression, children with autism spectrum disorders require special attention and psychological support from professionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
