Patient's question:
A 5-year-old child only speaks "Mom" and "Auntie" in daily life. Help me, hold me, he cannot communicate with adults, but he understands everything we say. He responds to us with nods, shakes, and "I don't know." He is also very aggressive and disobedient. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, I understand your feelings. I suggest you take your child to find a psychologist to talk about it. The child should have no problem expressing themselves, perhaps it's related to issues in the parenting process. The child is somewhat aggressive, maybe it's because the parents' advice to her is too strict. The child speaks in simple, repetitive, and stereotyped language, always nodding in response to you, and is very aggressive and disobedient. This may be a sign of autism in the child. It is recommended to take the child to a children's hospital for a check-up.
