Abstract

The use of remote forms of mental health care has become widespread during the period of epidemiological restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodological and organizational issues remain insufficiently developed, including the level of equivalence of the use of telemedicine technologies in the diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders. Study of the equivalence of diagnostic tools in the framework of telemedicine and face-to-face consultations in children with autistic spectrum disorders according to modern scientific literature. A descriptive review of scientific studies published between January 2017 and May 2023 was carried out. The papers presented in the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, and eLibrary were analyzed. Descriptive analysis was used to summarize the obtained data. The conducted analysis convincingly indicates sufficient equivalence of remote tools used in different countries for level I screening, assessment scales, and structured procedures for diagnosing autistic spectrum disorders with a high level of specificity from 60.0 to 94.4%, sensitivity from 75 dog 98.4%, and satisfaction of patients and their legal representatives. The widespread use of validated telemedicine diagnostic systems in clinical practice contributes to the early detection of autistic spectrum disorders, increasing the timeliness and effectiveness of medical, corrective psychological, pedagogical, and habilitation interventions.
