From the article:

Prolonged screen time may not be a cause of ASD, but may be an early sign of the developing disorder.

Let's also add that ASD is hereditary in many cases, so the tendency of the parents to let their offspring look at a screen for longer periods of time could be connected to the parents' condition too.>
