India, Aug. 31 -- For children with ADHD and autism, screen time can have two-fold effects. On one hand, it can give a sense of calm and control, while on the other hand, it can be overstimulating. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Sonam Kothari, pediatric neurologist, co- founder and CEO of Butterfly Learnings said, "While screens can offer a sense of calm and comfort, they also help create a predictable environment where an individual feels in control.
