Patient's question:
My child is 28 months old and has been diagnosed with autism. I'm not sure if it's accurate because many children speak later. If it is autism, what are the good treatment methods? I'm worried that my child won't be able to grow up like other children.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your child shows signs of autism, it's best to check if it's actually autism. Children with autism avoid eye contact with others, lack facial expressions, refuse hugs, show no obvious attachment to their parents, often ignore being called by name, have poor language skills, do not initiate conversations, often talk to themselves, repeat stereotyped speech, frequently scream, hum, or make sounds that others cannot hear or understand. They express needs through nodding, shaking their head, or other facial expressions. Early treatment is crucial. You can consult a local doctor directly.
