And also kids are getting lots of, you know, it can be regulating because they're able to sustain their attention.
podcast-host
They're able to deeply focus on one thing, settle in, pay attention to that one thing.
podcast-host
So they're getting this period of uninterrupted focus where they're focusing on this one thing and that can feel really regulating too.
podcast-host
So we just wanted to, first of all, acknowledge, you know, that a large part of the autistic community says screen time is regulating.
podcast-host
Yeah, let's talk about why transitioning away from screens are so dysregulating, because it goes back to exactly what you just said.
podcast-host
All of the things that they get from being on the screen, it's like being ripped away from them all at once, usually without notice, or even if they got notice from you, it might not be something that they processed yet.

podcast-host
That video's okay.
podcast-host
Ooh, I love this.
podcast-host
And then it's just that same exact pattern.
podcast-host
They know what they're doing when they're designing these games.
podcast-host
They're designing them for you to want to continue.
podcast-host
So they're getting this reinforcement by just the nature of watching the videos because of what's happening in their brain.
podcast-host
And when we are trying to take that away from them, it's a huge, huge cognitive demand on them.
podcast-host
They have to disengage from what it is that they were thinking about.
