[quote=Anonymous]I have four children, three of them have been diagnosed with ASD.  For one of them, the Chromebook/laptop based learning is an absolute nightmare.  He just spends all of his class time looking up things about his special interests.  He got so many detentions and Saturday schools his freshman year of high school that it basically lost all meaning for him, and it just kind of became something that he did.  We asked that everything be moved to paper, but it wasn’t really possible.  
For the second, it’s fine.  He gets frustrated with it sometimes, and it can definitely be a distraction with homework, but it’s okay. I will say that he was in a homeschool co-op until he was in eighth grade when we moved away and didn’t have screens there.

My youngest (7th grade) is kind of like yours, OP.  He is getting things done for the most part, and he wants to get things done, but he gets distracted during the school day and would rather play games online than get his work done.  It’s a challenge, but not the worst.  He got distracted making oragami out of scratch paper when he was in the screen-free co-op.  [/quote]
