High Functioning Autism and Internet Dangers, Part 4: Keeping Your Child Safe
In this episode, the 4th in the High Functioning Autism and Internet Dangers series, the discussion turns to how to keep your child safe.
But not only safe but knowing how to become a digital citizen with the rights and responsibilities that go with it.
Online activities can be beneficial for this population, but some commonsense limits can greatly increase the chances of its appropriate use.
The program looks at what the term digital citizenship means and what goes into efforts to spread the idea.
Teens with high functioning autism add their ideas and concerns about internet usage. It may be somewhat surprising but most teens want to know more about internet safety, but theirs and their parents are not necessarily the same.
