Many parents worry about the long-term effects of screen time on their children's mental health. As a developmental-behavioral pediatrician in the DMV area (Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia), I regularly hear from parents who want clear, evidence-based guidance on how screens affect children, especially kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Parents ask me all the time whether there’s any app or game out there that actually helps their child focus better, or if it’s just more screen time in disguise. With so many programs claiming to boost attention, it’s hard to sort out what’s useful from what’s just marketing.

Learn the early signs of autism and ADHD, when to seek therapy, and how the best pediatrician in the DMV area can guide your family. Discover what’s normal, what’s not, and why early evaluation matters.
