Abstract

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder. Early-life social experience assessment before symptoms of ASD might be helpful for determining the causal link between social experiences and early childhood ASD. Younger children are exposed to excessive screen time in recent years. This paper summarizes the association between screen exposure with ASD in preschool children, and proposes future research directions and provides evidence-based guidance to optimize and support children's early media experiences.
