However, kids with autism may also have narrow interests, less interaction with others and hence tend to play games or watch TV.So this increased screen time interferes with a child’s ability to learn new skills and acquire the social skills necessary to play with others.Note that even though the screen time can hinder development, removing screen time altogether or reducing it can have adverse effects on the child's behaviour with autistic kids. So it's got to be carefully managed.</blockquote>
