Abstract

In historical times when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, children with autism indicated themselves to be impaired in terms of development and learning. The present work aimed, from a systematic review, to evaluate the impact and the main changes in behavior in children diagnosed with ASD during such a pandemic context. The research was operationalized from the search for articles in the PubMed database, with keywords related to autism and the COVID-19 pandemic in the period from 2020 to 2021. The results indicated changes in the behavior patterns of children with ASD, especially with regard to the increase in crises, stereotypies, aggression, hyperactivity, as well as notes on the harm caused by social isolation and reduced stimulation aimed at social skills. Further studies are extremely important to reverse this scenario and achieve a better quality of life for such children and caregivers.
