一项2025年的研究将幼儿期过长的筛选时间与自闭症增加的社会症状而不是自闭症本身联系起来。 A 2025 study links excessive screen time in toddlers to increased autism-related social symptoms, not autism itself.

新加坡国立大学医院(National University Hospital)在2025年进行的一项研究将17至24个月幼儿期的较高检查时间与自闭症引起的社会沟通症状增加联系起来,这些症状包括点数减少、共享和对名字作出反应,尽管没有直接诊断自闭症。 A 2025 study by Singapore’s National University Hospital links higher screen time in toddlers aged 17 to 24 months to increased autism-related social communication symptoms, such as reduced pointing, sharing, and responding to name, though no direct autism diagnoses were made. 研究人员分析了5 336名儿童的数据,发现每天平均使用1小时18分钟的屏幕,超过国家准则。 Analyzing data from 5,336 children, researchers found an average of 1 hour and 18 minutes of daily screen use—exceeding national guidelines. 该研究报告发表在《自闭症和发育障碍杂志》上,其中建议,屏幕时间可能会扰乱早期发展所需的关键的前后互动,而幼儿和来自教育程度较低的家庭的儿童则面临更高的风险。 The study, published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, suggests screen time may disrupt critical back-and-forth interactions needed for early development, with younger children and those from lower-educated families at higher risk. 没有发现与发动机延迟或感官问题有重大联系。 No significant links were found with motor delays or sensory issues.
