ABSTRACT

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) could experience more stress due to the changes consequent to school closures because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study investigated differences in behavioral affect between children with ASD and typically developing children (TD). We conducted an online survey with mothers. The data of 84 children with ASD and 361 TD children aged 6 to 18 years were analyzed. Children with ASD were more frustrated due to the changes in their schedule and engaged more in restricted and repetitive behavior. Children with ASD had different types of behavioral affect compared to TD.

摘要

由于 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行导致学校停课带来的变化，患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的儿童可能会承受更大的压力。本研究调查了自闭症儿童和正常发育儿童 (TD) 之间行为影响的差异。我们对母亲进行了一项在线调查。分析了84名ASD儿童和361名6～18岁TD儿童的资料。由于日程安排的变化，患有 ASD 的儿童更加沮丧，并且更多地从事受限和重复的行为。与 TD 相比，患有 ASD 的儿童有不同类型的行为影响。
