That

Any parent who you talk to would always say of a neurodivergent kid that even if they had really great programs for their kid to do after school or over the summers, they had to do so much work to make that happen.

Or they had to put a lot of money into that to make that happen.

So thinking about just time spent, you know, we talk about screen time, time spent with media.

Time spent doing other things, that's not always so readily available for these kids and families.

Or even just the time spent with effective therapies that might help your child with emotional regulation or with planning or with.

I talked to, I think, a number of kids and families that were dealing with trauma related to experiences that they'd had in school.

And so all of that.

again, wraps around time spent with media.

So when we think about social isolation, what other kinds of connections to community or connections to friend making does a child have?

And maybe that's through siblings, maybe that's through the efforts of parents.

But or maybe and maybe that's through a school there's I think I'm double-edged sword, but are they in a classroom where they are the only child that they know of to be neurodivergent?

Or are they in a classroom full?

of other kids that are like that and to what extent are the parents connected or I definitely talked to parents who, you know, they only knew that just their child in the classroom was neurodivergent, but not others.

And they felt isolated as a parent from the other parents.

So maybe the kid maybe felt included, but the parents themselves felt isolated because they felt like the other parents knew and were not including their child on that basis.

Inclusion is

It doesn't just always mean wonderful rainbows and unicorns.

There's work of that.

So when it comes to media and all that and connection, you know, thinking about gaming in particular, especially during the pandemic, what I picked up on at least at the start of the pandemic, this is true for typically developing kids.
