The idea behind the book is very simple.
Every day we see young children completely absorbed in some video device like a smart phone and completely oblivious to the social world surrounding them.
The idea is this: one-way communication interferes with social experiences and development.
If this interference occurs during the first two years of life in the right infant, the outcome will be a child with ASD.

We may assume that the socialising aspect of play settings is beneficial to the child. This is an almost universally held belief, particularly in the case of girls. The child with ASD may disagree. It may be that for some children with ASD there really is no point or functional benefit in them attending a group play setting and that the distress caused outweighs any possible benefit gained. This notion is difficult for many parents to acknowledge as they believe that being alone cannot be good for the child; but for many children and adults with ASD, being alone is the best thing of all.

While it is certainly true that bullies typically pick on children they perceive as weak, it is also true that there is a wide selection of weak children to choose from, so what is it about children with autism that tends to attract their wrath? One key factor is that children with autism tend not to roam in packs! For example, a child with autism may be able to tolerate the stress and required masking of the classroom for a few hours but might need the respite of recess to take a break and be away from other people for a bit. This alone time exposes them to greater risk. But is there anything about the behavior of the child with autism that attracts bullying?

Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder DSM-5 describes a new disorder that has elements of ASD but is actually conceptualized as outside the autism spectrum. The intention is to provide diagnostic coverage for children with symptoms in the social-communication domain but who have never displayed repetitive, restricted behaviours or interests. However, it is unclear how Social Communication Disorder (SCD) will be different from ASD, which support or therapy services will be available, and what the child will qualify for.

Delaying a child’s natural sleep pattern has become an important health problem, and it affects brain development. In fact, even in adults, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are now linked to going to bed very late in the evening, not getting enough sleep, and then staying indoors most of the day.4 Of course, children are sometimes kept up later at night because it’s only natural for parents to want to spend time with their babies.
