A short YouTube #shorts clip (Virtual Autism Part 2) by Ming @ Agents of Speech asserting that excessive screen time can produce autism-like symptoms in children. Ming claims that reducing screen time and increasing quality engagement causes those symptoms to fade, and therefore those children "don't really have autism" but are addicted to screens and lacked language practice.
How you get rid of it is basically what all the therapists and the teachers have been talking about, and that is to reduce screen time. And as you reduce screen time and increase quality engagement and interaction with the child, that autism, like, symptom fades away. Okay. And that means they don't really have autism. It's just that they were addicted to something and they didn't know how to use language, so screen time is addictive.
