(uncountable) Synonym of digital autism.
Virtual autism is a condition where a child of 0-3 years shows symptoms like classical autism, but the cause of such symptoms is excessive exposure to the virtual environment. It should not be confused with classical autism because virtual autism can be addressed with minimal intervention.
