[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were 12. 16 now. Moving into a less restrictive school environment. Talking about college. Has friends. Hobbies that are not video games. Takes showers regularly. Honestly, it was terrifying. They spent probably three or four months doing nothing but screens. I can now recognize they were in autistic burnout. Asperger experts has some helpful advice on this. But once they started to trust that we weren’t going to demand things or take things away or force things or punish, they started to come out of it. This stuff is so so hard. No judgment, just empathy. [/quote] 8:05…. We are there right now with our 12 yr old (not the OP) with screens. I’ve finally given up on battling him as much but it pains me that it’s truly all he cares about. How did you get your child out of the screen addiction. We just moved to a private speciality school since public was too much and that is helping some but also that’s all these kids there care about.[/quote]
