Some products can be Hard-Booted, by totally draining the battery, and/or holding down the Power Button along with a volume button until the screen goes really black, then recharge it, and when it prompts you to turn it on, Don't. Shut it off until it's fully charged, then turn it on. You may have to reset the Router password.

I've been the go to gadget person in my family ever since my mother handed me the manual of the family VCR when I was a college student (or younger) and told me to set it up. To this day, I don't know why she thought I'd be the most likely person to figure it out; but I did get it set up in relatively short order.

Are you experiencing issues with multiple iPads that have stopped working?

It can be frustrating when devices stop working, especially if they're helpful tools for managing daily life with autism. Here are some considerations:

Options to consider:

• Check if the iPads are under warranty or eligible for repair programs
• Visit an Apple Store or authorized repair center for diagnostics
• Research common fixes online for specific issues (battery, screen, software)
• Consider replacement if repair costs approach the price of a new device
• Look into recycling programs if devices are beyond repair

Benefits of technology for autism:

A MyAutismTeam member shared how an iPad helped their son with autism. The device was provided through their school district's special foundation and became essential for:

• Keeping a calendar of assignments
• Typing homework instead of handwriting
• Reducing time spent on homework from 1-2 hours to about 20 minutes

If your iPads were serving similar helpful purposes, getting them fixed or replaced could be worthwhile. Many people with autism find technology helpful for organization, communication, and daily tasks.
