Caption

Comparison of parent-reported emotional states in the sample collected before the war (by Prof. Ilan Dinstein at the Azrieli National Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopment Research and the Department of Psychology at Ben Gurion University) and the sample collected within 30 days of Oct. 7th. The data reflects that parents of autistic children post Oct. 7th are reporting levels of depression, anxiety, and stress that are 2-4 times what was reported by the sample beforehand.
