dc.description.abstract© 2021 University of Salamanca. All rights reserved.We present a multicenter study conducted through an online survey of 1826 families of people with ASD from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela. Our objective is to describe the impact of the pandemic -and social isolation- on the behavior, mood, sleep and diet of people with ASD. To this end, we have surveyed sociodemographic and housing characteristics and the modality of confinement. We analyze the effects of discontinuity in educational and therapeutic services and assess the scope of remote interventions. Some of the consequences of confinement -obligatory for the majority- has been increased irritability in people with ASD, increased wandering behavior, higher levels of anxiety, and difficulties in eating, sleeping and concentrating. Most of the families have noticed setbacks in their children during the confinement. The beneficial effects of outings and walks are highlighted. Many treatments and classes have been discontinued. Remote interventions are positively highlighted. The current crisis should be an opportunity to reorganize education and treatment devices, attending to the need for changes, with a more ecological, inclusive and autism-friendly perspective.
