Patient's question:
My child is five years old this year, and he has already started kindergarten. Other children's kids are always playing with their friends, but he always sits there by himself, doesn't talk much, and doesn't watch others play. When I introduce him to other children, he always avoids them. I'm worried he might have autism. What are the symptoms of autism in children?Doctor's answer:
Children with autism may exhibit symptoms such as reluctance to talk to strangers, preferring to be alone, staring blankly, being quiet, and not responding when others speak to them. If your child shows symptoms of autism, parents should show more love and care, create a harmonious and warm living environment for them, encourage them more, avoid hitting or scolding them, and take them outdoors more often for play. This can also be beneficial for their condition.
