Fears typical for children with autism of certain age groups is expressed and experienced with various levels of intensity. In addition, the context of overcoming those fears may vary as well. These factors, unfortunately, are not always taken into consideration when organizing and conducting psychological work with children with autism to overcome their fears. Thus, outside this specificity, it is quite natural to assume that psychological work with children will not be predictable and effective.
