This paper aims to review the literature on attachment in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), highlighting risk and protective factors in the development of attachment. Research to date concluded that although children with ASD display less attachment security than those without ASD, they can form secure attachment. The severity of both autism symptoms and developmental delay is consistently identified as a risk factor for insecure attachment; however the extent to which each of these factors impact attachment quality is yet to be revealed. Studies identified that parents of children with ASD are equally sensitive as those of children without ASD, but parental sensitivity does not always predict attachment security of children with ASD, because there are some latent problems on reciprocal interaction. Conventional frameworks and procedures for understanding attachment in research on typically developing children cannot necessarily capture the underlying challenges to the attachment system faced by children with ASD. Further work that relies on the primary meaning of Bowlby’s attachment theory is needed to identify formation process and the function of attachment in children with ASD.
