      The difference between the classical and the virtual autism is that in the first case we are talking about the destruction and neurological underdevelopment, caused by biological factors.

      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.
