The COVID-19 pandemic, the infection caused by the novel coronavirus detected in December 2019 by World Health Organization (WHO), has detrimentally impacted human life in a variety of areas. Many concepts including outbreak, pandemic, and quarantine have been an inseparable part of our lives. This kind of dialectic change naturally affects persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental disorders (DD) and their families. The present study using a mixed-method evaluation aims to reveal the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the family functioning of children specifically with ASD in Turkey. This study promises a holistic understanding of how the lockdown depending on the COVID -19 pandemic affects families and their children with ASD with positive and negative sides.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）疫情是 2019 年 12 月世界卫生组织（WHO）发现的一种新型冠状病毒引发的传染病，对人类生活的各个方面都造成了负面影响。爆发、大流行和隔离等许多概念已经成为我们生活中不可分割的一部分。这种辩证变化自然会影响自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和发育障碍（DD）患者及其家庭。本研究采用混合方法评估，旨在揭示 COVID-19 大流行对土耳其特定 ASD 儿童家庭功能的影响。这项研究有望全面了解 COVID-19 大流行期间的封锁如何从正反两方面影响有 ASD 儿童的家庭及其儿童。
