@refrigeratormoms: Autism is not caused by parenting choices. While genetics play a role, it is never a parent’s fault and no one should blame themselves or others for a child’s autism. If you are worried about behaviors that look like autism but are basing that only on screen use, it is important to know that screen time does not cause autism. A child may be fine and simply need balance between technology and real-world interaction. Clear information helps families understand the difference between autism and the effects of too much screen exposure, reducing unnecessary guilt and stigma. #autismawareness #parenting #childdevelopment #neurodivergent #autismacceptance
