In recent years, there has been growing concern about the impact of electronic device use on children's development. In particular, digital autism has become a topic of intense discussion among parents, researchers, and mental health professionals. Digital autism is a condition that refers to a developmental disorder that can be caused by excessive exposure to digital technology, including electronic devices.
Research suggests that excessive use of electronic devices can lead to difficulties in children's social, behavioral, and emotional development. In addition, excessive exposure to electronic devices can lead to sleep problems, anxiety, and depression. 
One of the reasons that excessive exposure to electronic devices can lead to digital autism is that these devices can lead to social isolation. Children who spend too much time in front of a screen may be tempted to isolate themselves from other children and adults. This can lead to a lack of social interaction, which can lead to difficulties in developing social relationships and communication skills.
Additionally, the use of electronic devices can lead to a technology addiction. Children who spend too much time in front of a screen can become addicted to technology and find it difficult to distract themselves from their electronic device. This addiction can lead to a lack of interest in non-technology activities, such as sports, outdoor play, and interaction with other children.
While there is no concrete evidence that using electronic devices causes digital autism, research suggests that it may be a contributing factor in the development of the condition. Children who spend too much time in front of a screen may show symptoms of the developmental disorder, such as difficulties with communication and social interaction.
It is important to recognize that the use of electronic devices is not necessarily harmful. However, it is important for parents to limit the time their children spend in front of a screen and encourage social interaction and activities outside of technology. For example, parents could spend more quality time with their children.
