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, and it's not impossible that they might have autism. As parents, you must not be negligent and should promptly take the child to a regular public hospital's pediatric department for examination and diagnosis. It's crucial to identify the cause, confirm the diagnosis, and have specialized doctors provide appropriate treatments such as medication, psychological counseling, and develop a reasonable rehabilitation exercise plan. Parents should follow through with the plan.
