Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review. This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you helpful

information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now let's get

started. Welcome back to the Autism ADHD podcast and Autism ADHD TV.

Thank you, Holly, so much for having me back for part two of this really important and complex discussion.

I am thrilled that you are back.

For those of you who are joining us for the first time or haven't caught part one last week, make sure you go back

and catch that one. Jared and I talked about the pros, cons and consequences of screen time

overuse. You're going to need to listen to that one. It's very, very important. It's going to make

sense with what we're discussing today, which is the solutions and

strategies for screen time overuse. So, Jared, I'm going to introduce you real quick.

Absolutely. Dr. Jared Brown is a professor, trainer, researcher, and consultant with multiple

years of experience teaching collegiate courses. Jared has completed for separate master's degree

programs and holds graduate certificates in autism, other health disabilities, and traumatic brain

injuries. He's also published several articles and book chapters. So are you ready to get in to all the goodness because we know this is such

an important topic. But before that, let's just recap a little bit on the pros, cons and

consequences of screen time overuse. Absolutely. So if you're tuning in, obviously we're gearing

this toward kind of the autism community. But if you have a child with any disability or a child without a disability, I think there's going to be a lot of information in here that's going to be applicable to you as a parent. So I don't ever want to put down the use of the internet because there's a lot of benefits

we talked about in part one. I think it is imperative to learn how to use the internet in a safe

and really kind of just pro-social manner. So we really need to make sure we're modeling

those kind of good behaviors to children and those around us.

And what is safe and what is unsafe uses of the internet and screen time?

But the benefits are really many and varied for the internet.
