Navigating Virtual Autism

This book sheds light on the growing concern of Virtual Autism-a condition in which excessive screen exposure during early childhood leads to symptoms resembling those of autism spectrum disorders. Drawing on scientific research, clinical insights, and real-life cases, it explores how early and prolonged use of digital devices can disrupt young children's emotional, social, and cognitive development. The book underscores the importance of timely recognition, accurate diagnosis, and the potential for recovery through reduced screen time and increased human interaction. Aimed at parents, educators, and clinicians, it advocates for prevention, digital balance, and nurturing environments to support healthy childhood development in a screen-saturated world.
