Join the Atlanta Autism Consortium on Tuesday, September 30th at 6pm for “Being Online and Being OK: Teens and Young Adults with ASD.”

Autism spectrum disorders are developmental disorders. Individuals with autism spectrum disorders develop differently. These differences are usually present in social interaction, communication, and sensory processing, and become visible through a wide variety of behavioral responses that differ from individuals without autism spectrum disorders. Since behavioral addiction and ASD share common characteristics, individuals with ASD may be more vulnerable to behavioral addiction. Some typical behavioral addictions include compulsive internet use and gaming.

All adolescents and young adults are introduced to many things on the internet at an early age. Those gateways of exposure include easy access different lifestyles, deep involvement in gaming and other media, internet po*******hy, alcohol and drug use, sexual experiences at a young age, and the opinions of many individuals who are not of a similar mind.

This presentation offers parents of young people and young people solid, accessible advice regarding the internet. The successful navigation and use of the internet for teenagers and young adults is brought into perspective by a panel of experts with several decades of clinical experience and specializes in working with pre-adolescents, teenagers, and young adults, along with their families.

This virtual event is free, but registration is required.
