It is an interesting question and one that does not seem to have been given much attention. I suspect that is because it is such a devastating disease, with the average life span about 13 years, that it is not a high priority in terms of concerns. Psychological literature seems to be more often about coping of the parents. I did find this "blurb" on a progeria website:
"These children tended to be shy and aware of their unusual appearance. They were friendly, lively, witty, and mischievous in the company of acquaintances, and they exhibited normal emotions, becoming happy, angry, and sad in the appropriate situations."
Good luck!
