Is Your Phone the First Number School Calls? It Might Be the Screens

Let’s talk about the moment no autism parent forgets:

That sinking feeling when the school calls—again.

Your child had another meltdown.

They ran from the classroom.

They refused to eat.

They wouldn’t participate.

You’re told it’s behavioral. Maybe neurological.

But what if the real problem started long before school?

What if it started with something glowing?

We don’t think of screen time as dangerous.

In fact, most of us rely on it.

To breathe. To get through a work meeting. To finally fold the laundry.

We hand over the tablet because we’re exhausted—not because we’re careless.

But what happens when that screen becomes the only tool that works?

Here’s what I’ve seen in real autism families from around the world:

• Sleep disappears

• Tantrums explode

• Picky eating worsens

• Focus tanks

• And regulation? Gone.

Screens aren’t evil. But they’re not neutral either.

Dopamine spikes from fast-moving cartoons leave the nervous system unstable.

Melatonin gets shut off by blue light.

The gut-brain connection breaks down from mindless eating in front of a screen.

And real relationships start to feel… slow, hard, frustrating.

Now imagine sending a child into a school setting like that—depleted, disconnected, dopamine-hijacked.

And guess who gets the call?

This is why I created the ScreenLess Challenge.

It’s a 5-day reset built for real families—autism families—who want to reduce chaos, increase calm, and walk into school with a child who’s actually regulated.

You’ll learn:

• How screen time impacts nutrition and picky eating

• What dopamine crashes do to behavior

• Why screens block connection and eye contact

• How to reset sleep, mood, and movement

• Why less screen time = more verbal speech

We don’t throw out screens.

We show you how to use them wisely—without hijacking your child’s brain.

And the results?

We’ve seen kids sleep through the night, ask to color, and walk into class smiling—for the first time.

It’s free. It’s simple. It works.

And it ends with a live Q&A where no question is off limits.
