What should I do if my child who is over 3 years old does not speak?

Patient's question:

My baby is a little over 3 years old and still doesn't want to talk. Now he's in kindergarten. Recently, I've noticed he's willing to call "Mommy," but is there any other method? I've taken my child to the hospital for check-ups, and the doctor said it's just delayed speech development.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby's pronunciation is normal, personality and intelligence are normal, but they just don't like to talk, this situation is considered a delay in language development. There is no need to worry about this situation; you will suddenly start talking at a special time, and your language will be fluent and pronunciation standard. However, if the baby is introverted and doesn't like interacting with family and children, this situation needs to be alert to the possibility of autism. If necessary, please go to the department of psychiatry and neurology for treatment, and have an MRI of the brain to rule it out.
