  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Emotion dysregulation is a common issue experienced by individuals with autism  spectrum disorder (ASD) and has been associated with a wide range of negative  mental and physical health outcomes. This commentary highlights the role emotion  dysregulation plays in ASD by first considering the literature on emotion regulation  (ER) in the general population and then summarizing the ER research in ASD. Based  on the evaluation of previous research findings, we conclude that individuals with ASD  have more ER difficulties and consistently self-report or demonstrate a less adaptive  pattern of ER strategy use. In addition, the higher prevalence of internalizing and  externalizing issues seen in ASD are associated with the greater habitual use of some  ER strategies and less habitual use of others. Conceptual and methodological  limitations are discussed, including the use of coping measures and single-method  approaches, and ASD gender distribution. We propose a set of new directions for  investigating ER in ASD, incorporating knowledge from other literatures on the role of  flexibility in healthy adaptation, overlaps between flexibility and executive function  deficits, the adaptive value of up-regulation of positive emotions, and the importance  of emotional selfawareness. Increasing our capacity for identifying the mechanisms  underlying co-morbid affective disorders can ultimately inform the design of effective  interventions to maximize the wellbeing of individuals with ASD.</dc:description>
