Patient's question:
The child is now 40 months old and cannot speak.Doctor's answer:
First, you need to understand that cerebral palsy, its main manifestations are motor disorders and postural abnormalities. The child's motor performance you described, except for a slightly pigeon-toed gait, does not show any special motor conditions, so the possibility of cerebral palsy is not high. Of course, since we haven't seen the child, it's not good to make too much analysis about whether it might be cerebral palsy.Second, the child's clinical manifestations and data suggest that the child's intellectual development and language development are at the level of normal children aged 8-9 months, which is a significant delay. Moreover, the autism screening scale also indicates that the child is suspected of having autism. Therefore, it is necessary to recommend that you have your child undergo hearing tests, electroencephalogram (EEG) tests, language development assessments, and chromosomal analysis, among other tests, to clarify the child's diagnosis and main conditions. Only with a clear diagnosis can a rehabilitation treatment plan be formulated and the child's prognosis be predicted.
