Patient's question:
During pregnancy, I always went to each prenatal check-up on time, and each time the results were normal, with no abnormalities. The child was also healthy at birth! However, recently I noticed that the child doesn't like to interact with others and prefers to sit alone and stare blankly, sometimes appearing dazed. Is pediatric autism considered a form of idiocy?Doctor's answer:
If everything is normal after the child is born, but the child gradually becomes less interested in interacting with others, it is mainly considered that the child may have experienced some psychological stimulation, leading to these symptoms. It is necessary to communicate with the child in a timely manner to clarify whether there are any psychological issues. This does not necessarily mean the child has autism, and it's not necessarily any specific condition. I suggest it's best to take the child to the hospital for timely treatment.
