This study compared stress and the benefits of video calling between individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) proneness and diagnosis and those with typical developmental (TD). Study participants were recruited via the web, and 151 of the 252 participants who responded to a web-based questionnaire were included in the analysis (ASD group:76; TD group:75). The results of the chi-square test suggest that the ASD group may prefer video calling more than the TD group. The results of the analysis using a qualitative methodology (KJ method) suggested that the ASD group was more likely than the TD group to perceive stress due to light stimuli emitted from the screen and the inability to concentrate on a conversation due to visual stimuli. The ASD group perceived the ability to cope with stressful stimuli by operating the device as an benefits of video calling. These findings suggest the importance of creating a communication environment that reduces stress and maximizes the benefits of video calling for people with ASD. Specific support measures include establishing rules in advance that allow the individual to turn the video off or switch to texting.
本研究比较了有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）倾向和诊断的个体与具有典型发育（TD）的个体之间的压力和视频通话的益处。研究参与者通过网络招募，在对基于网络的问卷做出回应的 252 名参与者中，有 151 名被纳入分析（ASD 组：76 名；TD 组：75 名）。卡方检验的结果表明，ASD 组可能比 TD 组更喜欢视频通话。使用定性方法（KJ 法）进行分析的结果表明，与 TD 组相比，ASD 组更有可能因屏幕发出的光刺激而感到压力，并且因视觉刺激而无法集中注意力进行对话。ASD 组通过操作设备来应对压力刺激，认为这是视频通话的好处。这些发现表明，为 ASD 患者创造一个减轻压力并最大限度地发挥视频通话益处的沟通环境非常重要。具体的支持措施包括事先制定规则，允许个人关闭视频或切换到文本模式。
