The difficulties in developing an educational route for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) de- termined by both the heterogeneity of this group of students and the wide variation in the severity of autistic disorders in specific children. In addition, the lack of systematization of the experience of involving school- children with autism in the Russian educational system is other point. The individual educational route for a child with ASD, presented in the article, involves a phased metered expansion of social contacts of a student with ASD with adults and children in the process of training. Child’s abilities, corresponding to the level of his self-control and self-awareness, as well as the actual experience of the child’s involvement in social relations primarily taken into account in the development of individual education environment at each of educational stages. This gives an opportunity to develop an educational environment aimed at preventing of pathological forms of autistic protection and which has a developing potential. The following stages of teaching at a school of a student with an ASD described: individual stage, stage of including in the group, education in a special class of low occupancy, integrative stage.

Objective: The current paper examined the relationship between Problem-Solving Ability (PSA) and Quality of Life (QoL) in the mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (AS). Methods: This was a descriptive and correlational study. The study population consisted of the mothers of children with AS in Isfahan City, Iran. The required sample was selected from one autism center (out of three) using a convenience sampling method. Then, a sample of 150 mothers was randomly selected. Accordingly, they completed the 12-item Quality of Life and the 35- item Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI). The obtained data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis. Results: The present research results suggested a significant relationship between PSA and QoL (r=0.696, P<0.01). Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the dimensions of the PSA (self-confidence in PSA; r=0.560, P<0.01), avoidant attachment to PSA style (r=0.241, P<0.01), self-control (r=0.307, P<0.01), and QoL. Regression analysis data also indicated that QoL was predicted by self-confidence in PSA (P<0.01), avoidant attachment to PSA style (P<0.01), and self-control (P<0.01), and self-confidence in PS, as the most powerful predictor of QoL. Conclusion: The PSA is correlated with QoL, and PSA dimensions, including self-confidence in PS, avoidant attachment to PSA style, and self-control.

Self-control and emotion have often been cast in mutual opposition. However, recent accounts suggest that emotion and cognition overlap so greatly that they are largely inseparable. Despite this overlap, existing perspectives provide a seemingly paradoxical account of the integration of control and emotion, where negative affect is viewed as both good and bad for self-control. Here, we present an appraisal based framework that aims to reconcile these perspectives by closely considering the evaluative and homeostatic principles that unite emotion and self-control. Incorporating diverse appraisal processes from affective science into existing cybernetic models of self-control, we suggest that all variation in self-control is motivated by the overarching goal of the organism to maintain a positive hedonic homeostasis in its environment. Depending on the amount of value that ongoing appraisal processes see in the current goal, this might mean responding to goal threatening, aversive events with increased self-control and vigour, or, alternatively , disengaging from the current goal and pursuing more pleasurable activities. These strategies simultaneously serve the need to flexibly manage priorities between different goals, and, perhaps more fundamentally, maintain affective homeostasis within the immediate environment.
