Background Children on the autism spectrum encountered interruptions to their education due to the COVID-19 pandemic (White et al., 2021). This study examined the extent to which autistic children s anxiety and depressive symptoms during the pandemic were associated with the school format they attended in October 2020 (remote, in-person/hybrid, homeschool), controlling for their pre-pandemic symptoms. Pre-pandemic peer victimization and autism symptom characteristics were tested as moderators. Method Participants were 81 verbally-fluent autistic children (Mage = 14.71 years, 77.8 % males), without an intellectual disability, and their mothers; families were part of an ongoing, longitudinal study that began before the pandemic. Results School format did not significantly predict children s anxiety or depressive symptoms. Results indicated that the only significant predictors of children s anxiety and depressive symptoms during the pandemic were their pre-pandemic symptom levels. Conclusions School format did not significantly contribute to variability in children s anxiety and depressive symptoms during the pandemic, over and above their pre-pandemic symptoms. The results contribute quantitative findings to the growing body of research on pandemic-related effects on autistic children, and underscore the need to account for pre-pandemic child functioning when drawing conclusions about pandemic-level effects. |
