Question

My son has always been antisocial, never playing with other children. He says playing with kids is not as good as playing alone, and no matter how we guide him, he won’t change. Our family suspects he has pediatric autism and wants to test him. What are the testing methods for pediatric autism?

Answer

The testing for pediatric autism primarily involves conducting brain MRI scans, electroencephalogram (EEG) checks, excluding any developmental issues in the brain tissue, and ruling out congenital defects or neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Then, corresponding objective scientific tests are conducted to comprehensively judge the child’s specific condition. Parents must pay close attention to their child’s emotions, as autism in children is quite common.
