Digital Parenting and your Autistic Child Part 2

Not All Screen Time is Created Equal

Our children are growing up with technology all around them – they are digital natives that will never fully understand the world without screens. For children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their predilection for screen time makes them a greater risk for technology addiction and online retreat. Our job is to keep them safe, learn their habits, online and off, and guide them to make the right choices in the virtual world. Let’s teach them the proper etiquette and pitfalls that internet use and screen time can play in their lives.
