Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become a steadily growing issue

and is a lifelong condition. Individuals with ASD may not have an

understanding of the expectations of a crisis worker relationship
especially when they are dealing with a trauma (Attwood, 2003). This
needs to be taught through turn taking and sharing of information. So
individuals with ASD require specific modifications and adaptations to
benefit from the crisis worker, both through relationships and
strategies of the worker. This paper discusses critical issues associated
with ASD individuals and some techniques that can be used during a
traumatic event.
