Patient's question:
A child who is over one year old can call "Mommy" and "Daddy" as well as other names, but now at three years old, they don't call anyone anymore. They only call "Mommy" when they are crying. Many of the things adults say, they can understand the meaning. When they want something, they just pull the adult's hand to get it. They also say many unintelligible alien languages. Their hearing check is fine. When they hear songs or cartoons they dislike, they start screaming and jumping. At the medical insurance hospital, the doctor said they have the rebellious behavior of autism. I don't think their behavior is like that. Could it be delayed speech development? The doctor suggested using a transcranial magnetic stimulation device for treatment. Is that okay to use?Doctor's answer:
To the parent, based on the situation you described, it is recommended that you take the baby to the pediatric department of another regular tertiary hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis to rule out the possibility of autism. If it is autism, it can be quite challenging and requires timely treatment. The above is advice on the issue of "a child who is over one year old can call 'Mommy' and 'Daddy' and other names." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
