Psychiatric problems during the COVID-19 pandemic in children with autism spectrum disorder

Roma A. Vasa et al.

Summary: Children with ASD are at high risk for psychiatric problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 59% of children in clinical samples experiencing increased psychiatric problems. Factors such as the child's understanding of COVID-19, COVID-19 illness in the family, low family income, and parental depression and anxiety symptoms increase the risk for poor mental health during the pandemic. This emphasizes the importance of providing effective mental health services for children with ASD during and after the pandemic.

Summary: The research focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on families with children with Neurodevelopmental Disorder (NDD), showing an increase in parental stress and child externalizing behaviors during lockdown.
