Children trapped in screens: Urban childhood and autism awareness
Today is April 2 — World Autism Awareness Day. Every year on this day, we discuss the rights of people with autism and their inclusion in society. But alongside autism awareness, there is another serious problem we must pay attention to — the harmful effects of today's "urban childhood" and device-dependent lifestyle on children. It is time for science-based research on how excessive screen use is blocking children's normal development and making autism-like symptoms worse.
