A research study by AIIMS Delhi warns that excessive screen time for children under one year of age significantly increases the risk of developing autism-related symptoms by age three. The study emphasizes that children under 18 months should have zero screen exposure, as it hinders brain development and social interaction. Analysis of 2,000 children showed that 80% of those with autism also suffered from sleep disorders and attention deficits. Experts suggest that parental interaction and physical play are crucial during the first 1,000 days of a child's life. https://www.etvbharat.com/kn/health/children-exposed-to-mobile-screens-within-a-year-are-at-higher-risk-of-autism-aiims-research-warns-kas26050802655 #creator program
