“…The authors are part of the recent grant-funded project IDEAS (Identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder using speech and facial expression recognition) which aims to develop an automated screening tool for the early detection of ASD. Since such an automated tool requires mediated input, we investigate the usefulness of various media formats to elicit relevant symptoms (Pliska et al, 2023) and aim to achieve a differentiation as selective as possible between autistic and typical development using this tool. As a necessary basis, media usage and competence in children with ASD must be compared to typically developing (TD) children to further understand usage and acceptance of digital technology in this particular group.…”

IntroductionDigital participation might have great potential for the everyday lives of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Previous research suggests that children with ASD enjoy and favor usage of digital technologies. As informative research on this topic is still sparse, this paper makes a contribution toward a better understanding of media usage in children with ASD.MethodsParents of 15 boys aged 6 to 11 diagnosed with ASD in Germany were asked about their children's media usage. For comparison, parents of 78 typically developing (TD) children were surveyed online.ResultsStatistical analyses reveal no differences between boys with and without ASD in media use, frequency, and reasons for use. However, there is a significant group difference in parents' perceptions of difficulty of restricting their child's media use: Parents of children with ASD reported greater difficulties of restriction of their child's media use than parents of TD children.DiscussionDigital media is an integral part of the daily lives of children with ASD and has the potential to increase the social inclusion of people with ASD through digital participation.
