bed32 Report post Posted October 14, 2014 Another article on the news today about just how dominant social media is in the lives of teenagers these days. AS children are probably less motivated by the forces that make social media so popular but if they don't participate then that seems to be one more way in which they are being divided from their NT peers. In addition the nature of on line communication is that it is all about words and the problems that AS children have with non-verbal communication will be much reduced (or at least shared by NT children). Also it seems to me that getting involved on line could be good training for communication skills. So is there a way of getting children involved in social media? Thinking both in terms of them being safe on line and getting involved with an appropriate community of peers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
