Patient's question:
My son is now three years old. I see other children often go out to play, but he always stays alone in his room or in a corner and doesn't talk much. I'm very worried that he might have a psychological disorder. Is my child on the autism spectrum?Doctor's answer:
A three-year-old child is at the stage of being lively and active. If the child is often alone in their room and doesn't talk much, it's important to consider potential mental or psychological issues. It's also possible that the child may have autism. As parents, it's crucial not to be negligent and should promptly take the child to a regular public hospital's pediatric department for examination and diagnosis. The cause should be identified, and a clear diagnosis should be made. Specialized doctors should then adopt appropriate treatments, such as medication and psychological counseling, based on the specific cause. A reasonable rehabilitation exercise plan should be formulated, and parents should follow through.
