نبذة مختصرة : Children with non-or minimally verbal autism (nmvASD) commonly display sensory and emotional dysregulations leading to extremely stressful situations that trigger challenging behaviors which are often difficult to treat. Nonetheless, this population remains rarely studied in clinical research. Recent methods use electrophysiological biomarkers as diagnostic tools to detect stressors, which may be useful in anticipating situations or conditions leading to challenging behaviors in nmvASD. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of these children and gather the opinions of future users on the design of a wearable device able to collect electrophysiological data in such pathological context. The results indicate that approximately 67.5% of respondents would be interested in such a device, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. In 70% of cases, prolonged contact with an object on the trunk is always well accepted; this location was also preferentially chosen by 57.5% of the careers. The presence of wires could be problematic in 82.5% of cases. About 65% of respondents find it far better to integrate these wearable devices directly into the clothing.These results will help in the development of devices specifically developed for the nmvASD population to enhance their care for behavioral disorders. ; Les enfants atteints d'autisme non ou peu verbaux (nmvASD) présentent fréquemment des dysrégulations sensorielles et émotionnelles, entraînant des situations extrêmement stressantes qui déclenchent des comportements difficiles à traiter.
