“…Individuals with developmental disabilities are generally more vulnerable to increased risk of mental health conditions than the general public. Preliminary studies have pointed to acute stress reactions and posttraumatic stress symptoms (Liu et al, 2020), recent onset psychotic or mood symptoms with coronavirus exposure (Diaz & Baweja, 2020), and worsening suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts related to fear of COVID-19 (Ammerman et al, 2020) in populations without developmental disabilities, and could be anticipated to be significant challenges for individuals with ASD as well given their higher risk for pre-existing mental health concerns.…”

“…Combined externalizing and internalizing psychiatric co-morbidities as well as internalizing conditions alonesuch as depression and/or anxiety-are identified risk factors for ED visits among adolescents with ASD (Liu et al, 2019). Children and adults with ASD are at higher risk for suicidal behavior (Mayes et al, 2015); some preliminary evidence has demonstrated increased suicide behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic (Ammerman et al, 2020). Because of significant disruptions in daily routines and interruption of behavioral health services, children, adolescents and adults with ASD may be at higher risk for mental health crises and should be followed closely and assessed frequently for emerging safety concerns.…”

“…Embora a COVID-19 sozinha possa não ser o único fator para o suicídio, o isolamento físico associado com a desconexão social e o sofrimento psíquico podem ser uma junção nociva de fatores de risco (Ammerman et al, 2020).…”

“…Com base nisso,Lennon (2020) evidencia que o isolamento social e o status socioeconômico são grandes preditores de suicídio e seguramente podem resultar em picos na pandemia atual.Como descrito porGunnell et al (2020), nesse período de isolamento domiciliar o acesso aos meios é um importante fator de risco para o suicídio, pois no ambiente atual, os meios letais como pesticidas, analgésicos e armas de fogo podem estar mais disponíveis no domicílio. ParaAmmerman et al (2020), esse maior acesso é um preditor vinculado as mortes por suicídio. Os dados disponibilizados porMoutier (2020) demonstram que nos EUA, as compras de armas de fogo aumentaram 85% no início da COVID-19, em comparação com os anos anteriores no mesmo período.De acordo comCzeisler et al (2020) um estudo realizado nos EUA revelou que durante a pesquisa alguns indivíduos questionados relataram o aumento ou início do uso de substâncias para enfrentar as emoções ou estresse relacionados a pandemia.…”
