You don't always get a fair impression of a dog when it's in a shelter. The trauma signs you notice might just be nerves/anxiety about new surroundings. Noise is also an issue. Some dogs can't take the constant barking all around them. I would suggest you try to arrange a quite walk with the dog to get a better sense of its emotional state. I know of many shelters that allow this.
You make me realise that dogs may behave similarly to humans. This is exactly the things I would say if someone asks me what I would do with a student on the autistic spectrum.

That's a great idea, Siggy.
If both of Sensei's kids were 4+, I would probably say to just give the dog a chance, but with one very young kid that's too risky.

My girl is a fearless warrior princess. She’s the kind who will go over to pat the dog while my elder son will retreat with his tail between his legs haha
