Introduction: The pandemic produced by COVID-19 and the home confinements that have been ordered because of it have impacted minors with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Objective: This work has been carried out in order to know the social impact of COVID-19 on people with childhood autism, including the perception and reactions of third people. The research questions are (1) How does confinement influence children with autism? (2) What educational suggestions can be used to maintain a stable situation with children with autism in confinement? Method: For the study's application, an observational process of multimedia environments on the Internet has been followed, going deep into websites, social networks, audiovisual and informative spaces. In such a way that we have opted for a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach. For the analysis, we used analysis matrices and CAQDAS webQDA to extract visual models. Results: The study concludes that, from a social perspective, there is a lack of knowledge on the part of the population about the incidence of measures such as confinement in children with ASD. This may influence each child differently depending on their personal, family and social characteristics. Conclusions: Therefore, it is necessary to use socio-educational interventions in children with autism.
