As much of our direct work with children with ASD shifted to telehealth, we found that treatment success required either the presence of a care giver at the remote site that had instructional control with the child or the child had the prerequisite skills to follow instructions delivered via teleconference and had low levels of interfering behaviors.

It is a measure of success that you are able to achieve effective communication with ASD children. Your methodology should be more widely used in out of class settings.

Impacts happened with the loss of the structured routine, access to treatment institutions and schools.

ASD falls into developmental disabilities (basically this means childhood disabilities). ASD is only one of these that could affect children, as many developmental disabilities are also comorbid with health issues. Of course, that means developmentally disabled children are generally more at risk than the average 0-5 year old.

This pandemic has a great impact with people who are autistic because of life during lockdown the person will be stress and triggered with the stressors in their homes. One of the reason also is the new routine that the person doing, person with autism has its own routine before the pandemic they are used to it and fine with it. When this pandemic happen, their routine change, the people around them are not the same, and the things that makes them feel relieve or happy also changes.

I Agree this Pandemic is rather severe on Autistic People, I can speak from experience in saying that the routine from Monday-Friday has now moved to a different phase of mostly family running the Applied Behavioural therapy programme seven days a week. This is so challenging for parents.
