Becoming Comfortable with the Uncomfortable: An Evaluation of Methods to Assist Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Navigating Aversive and Uncomfortable Stimuli in Their Environment is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of clinical documentation, payer communication, supervision records, and leadership review. In Becoming Comfortable with the Uncomfortable: An Evaluation of Methods to Assist Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Navigating Aversive and Uncomfortable Stimuli in Their Environment, for this course, the practical stakes show up in service continuity, accurate reporting, and defensible clinical decisions, not in abstract discussion alone.

However, there are times when it is important that we interact with or at least coexist with those uncomfortable stimuli to live a productive life. The papers in this presentation will look at three different methods to teach children with autism spectrum disorder to interact with aversive or uncomfortable stimuli they may encounter. The first paper focuses on teaching an individual to both come in contact with and talk about aversive stimuli in their environment. The second paper taught an individual to react to negative statements from peers and respond in an appropriate fashion. The third paper used differential reinforcement and rules to complete nonpreferred and low-probability tasks without display of inappropriate behavior.
