Abstract

Recently, the need for a mental health technology revolution during COVID-19 was noted (1). These authors suggested that interventions should be targeted toward vulnerable groups and adapted to their individual needs (1), and we have expanded this concept here. One vulnerable group that will benefit from such a technology revolution and targeted interventions comprises individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We discuss how technology can be leveraged to address the specific challenges experienced by these individuals and their families during the pandemic.
