COVID-19大流行和封锁将对儿童的心理社会和心理健康产生短期和长期影响。自闭症儿童可能有一些特殊的支持需求，因为他们在社交方面的困难，刻板的行为模式，以及自闭症带来的其他特殊性。本研究旨在调查COVID-19大流行对ASD儿童及其家庭的影响。共有406名ASD儿童的父母完成了一项在线调查，调查了基本信息;睡眠，户外活动和康复训练; ASD儿童异常行为的频率;以及父母的压力和情绪状况。50.3%的家长认为孩子存在睡眠问题，47.3%的家长认为孩子户外活动时间减少。约40%的家长认为孩子的认知能力、语言表达能力、理解能力都有所提高。36.2%的家庭报告孩子的情绪和社会表现变差。60.8%的家长反映孩子训练强度下降。在ASD儿童中观察到的最常见的异常行为是容易分心，发脾气和哭泣。81.3%的家长没有焦虑情绪，但98%的家长反映家教有压力。COVID-19大流行对ASD儿童的主要影响是他们无法获得专业康复训练。这些家庭需要更多的医疗支持，特别是在家庭培训方面，以帮助父母提高自闭症儿童的社交和情绪控制能力。
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown will have short-term and long-term psychosocial and mental health implications for children. Children with autism may have some specific needs for support because of their difficulties in social communication, stereotyped behavior patterns, and other specificities brought about by autism. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ASD children and their families. A total of 406 parents of ASD children completed an online survey investigating basic information; sleep, outdoor activities, and rehabilitation training; ASD children’s frequency of abnormal behaviors; and stress and emotional status of parents. 50.3% of the parents thought their children had sleep problems, and 47.3% of the parents thought their children’s outdoor activity time was reduced. About 40% of parents think that their children have improved cognitive ability, language expression, and understanding. 36.2% of the families reported that their children’s emotional and social performance became worse. 60.8% of parents reported that their children’s training intensity decreased. The most common abnormal behaviors observed in children with ASD were being easily distracted, losing temper, and crying. 81.3% of parents did not have anxiety, but 98% of parents reported that family training was under pressure. The main impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children with ASD is that they do not have access to professional rehabilitation training. These families need more medical support, especially in family training, to help parents improve the social and emotional control skills of ASD children.
