Natalie McMaster talks with Associate Professor Michael Nagel from the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Michael has coauthored a book titled Becoming Autistic: How technology is altering the minds of the next generation. Today's discussion focusses on the consequences of developmental changes in young people due to screen use and how they are increasingly being expressed as psychological and behavioural changes that very much resemble known disorders such as autism spectrum disorder.
