How does a person with Asperger's Syndrome (in particular, a child)
handle fear or panic situations?  Is an Asperger's child more or less
likely to panic in a genuinely traumatic situation, and what form
would the panic be likely to take?--that is, is there a
characteristic behavior with respect to fear reactions?

Would the child be particularly prone to panicking in situations that
a normal child would not consider traumatic--that is, being overly
fearful to the point of irrationality?  Or would the opposite be the
case?--that is, remaining unmoved even when fear would be the normal
reaction?

Thank you,

Thank you, landog.  May I ask what leads you to call this a good
resource?  Do you have special knowledge that qualifies you to
evaluate it?  Quality of information is a key value to me.  If someone
is speaking from the vantage point of expertise or even just
exceptional interest, I can borrow that person's confidence in the
source.  I don't know your background as a researcher, so I'm just
asking.
