Article Synopsis
- - Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is marked by challenges in social communication and repetitive behaviors, with maternal immune activation (MIA) during mid-pregnancy identified as a risk factor, affecting about 15% of those with ASD.
- - This study hypothesized that individuals with ASD who experienced MIA would show greater socio-adaptive impairments compared to those without, analyzing data from 295 mother-child pairs, with findings indicating more severe socialization difficulties in the ASD-MIA group.
- - Limitations of the study include its retrospective nature and a relatively small sample size, underscoring the need for larger prospective studies to explore the specific biological mechanisms behind the socio-adaptive challenges in ASD-MIA individuals.
Introduction: Numerous studies have investigated the positive and negative effects of potential predictors of well-being during lockdowns due to COVID-19. Yet, little is known on whether these effects significantly changed with time spent in lockdown. In the current study, we described the association of mental well-being with a large number of background characteristics (e.

This may result in qualitatively different autobiographical narratives, notably regarding social identity.

We aim to investigate the sociodemographic and environmental determinants of wellbeing on the French population during lockdown due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic with an online survey. Among 11,391 participants who completed the questionnaire, various factors negatively impacted wellbeing: being a female, a student, disabled, having no access to outdoor spaces, or living in a small home.

It has been suggested that this abrupt lockdown of populations will foster addiction-related habits such as caloric/salty food intake, screen use, and substance use.
Objective: Our aim was to assess the global changes and factors of increase in addiction-related habits during the early COVID-19 containment phase in France.
