Virtual autism is a neuro-psychiatric behaviour disorder generated due to excessive screen exposure. Its symptoms are analogous to classic autism; hence, it is called virtual autism. Psychic, motor, sensory, affective and psychosocial stimulation is absent due to improper development of the neurological system. Virtual autism it is not about the destruction of neurological links, but about re-edification of these links, due to their inadequate stimulation. However, the brain of a child with virtual autism can be restored back to normal by taking appropriate precautionary measures; which is unlikely in classic autism.
