Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar la respuesta de las personas con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) y sus familiares al aislamiento social durante la pandemia. Métodos: Este estudio adoptó un enfoque de revisión integradora de literatura, examinando detalladamente artículos científicos publicados entre 2020 y 2022. Después de una selección minuciosa basada en criterios estrictos de inclusión y exclusión, culminando en un proceso analítico, se identificaron y preservaron 20 artículos de los 244 considerados inicialmente. Resultados: Tras un análisis minucioso del corpus seleccionado, se llegó a la conclusión de que el período de confinamiento en el hogar, derivado de la pandemia de COVID-19, tuvo un impacto desafiante para la totalidad de los individuos evaluados, resaltando, sin embargo, una incidencia más acentuada de este desgaste entre aquellos que son portadores del Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) y sus respectivos familiares y cuidadores. Consideraciones finales: La evaluación evidenció que el aislamiento en casa durante la pandemia de COVID-19 tuvo un impacto desafiante para quienes tienen Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) y sus familias.
