“…Attention in autistic individuals shows different characteristics compared to normal individuals. Individuals with autism pay more attention to objects, while normal individuals pay attention to the actions of others and especially to their faces and eyes when they are in a social environment, so that social interactions in individuals with autism are disrupted [37].…”

“…The facial and laryngeal regions of the motor cortex activate the muscles of the mouth, tongue, larynx, vocal cords and so on which are responsible for the intonation, timing and rapid changes in intensity of sound sequences. The cerebellum, basal ganglia and sensory cortex help regulate the sequence and intensity of muscle contractions by cerebellar feedback mechanisms and function of the basal ganglia [37].…”

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty controlling emotions, difficulty maintaining attention, relatively poor memory, and difficulty in speaking. Attention, memory, and speech are parts of cognition. During the covid-19 pandemic, individuals with autism feel more stressed because they have lost their routine. This type of research is quantitative descriptive with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The number of samples used were 59 ASD children aged 5-11 years. Emotional data was collected using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children, Short Form/PANAS-C-S scale, attention data was collected using the inattention subscale of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham scale, version IV (SNAP-IV), memory data was collected using the Observer questionnaire. Memory Questionnaire-Parent Form (OMQ-PF), and speech data were collected using the speech subscale of ATEC. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results showed the average positive emotion (PA) of children with ASD = 18.20; negative emotional level (NA) = 12.42; emotion (PA + NA) = 5.78; inattention = 24.80; memory = 83.51; and speech = 26.71. The mean of positive emotions in ASD children is lower, negative emotions are higher, and overall good emotions are lower than normal children aged 8-11 years. The mean inattention score in children with ASD was included in the criteria for severe attention deficit symptoms. The mean memory of ASD children is lower than normal children aged 5-16 years. The average speech score of children with ASD is lower than the score normally achieved by normal children. The emotions and cognition of children with ASD during the covid-19 pandemic were lower than normal children. Efforts are needed to increase positive emotions and improve cognitive function which include: attention, memory, and speech in ASD children with various therapies that are suitable for each individual.

“…"Queuing" is a picture book published by Southwest Normal University Press (a national-level publishing house) that was classified as suitable for children aged 3 to6. Previous studies utilized homemade picture books, but to avoid the impact of limitations in picture book selection, "Queuing" was chosen as it had no picture book background (see Figure 1) to incorporate the previous research findings on picture book background fixation (Lian et al, 2023;Lian & Hong et al, 2023a;Lian & Hong et al, 2023b).…”

“…Previous studies found that the background of picture books caused fixation results among ASD+ID children, and picture books without background are more conducive to the fixation results of picture books (Lian et al, 2023;Lian & Hong et al, 2023a;Lian & Hong et al, 2023b). Based on this, it was hypothesized that the picture book "Queuing" would help children with ASD+ID establish queuing behavior better.…”

Evaluating the effectiveness of using picture books in teaching behavior to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), five children with ASD intellectual disabilities (ASD+ID) were taught queuing behavior using picture books. Multiple baselines with a staggered introduction of the independent variable of picture books to participants were employed to evaluate the dependent variable of the percentage of correct behavior observed. Children without exposure to picture books continued to fail to line up, whereas there was an increase in queuing behaviorwith picture book exposure. The results showed that picture books could be used to teach children with ASD+ID queuing behavior sustainably and effectively.
