Design and implementation of an online protocol for asd diagnosis in children using telemedicine tools

ASD is a developmental disability characterized by persistent difficulties in social communication and interactions and by restricted or repetitive behavior. Early detection of ASD and early interventions are essential for further development of an individual. The COVID-19 pandemic had led to the limitation of nonacute health care in Czechia, which restrained the accessibility of early diagnostics. To address this, we established an online ASD diagnostic protocol using the means of telemedicine to conduct clinical research on its validity and applicability into the clinical context.
