Question
My baby is three years old, and he is a bright and beautiful boy. However, what troubles me is that my baby, despite being this age, still can’t speak. When I ask him something, he understands everything but only nods or shakes his head to express himself. Is it considered autism if a 3-year-old baby can’t speak?
Answer
It’s not advisable to rule out the risk of autism from the perspective of child development. Therefore, we should pay more attention to relaxing emotions and avoid stress. It’s recommended to first check the child’s comprehension abilities and then promptly go to the hospital for an intelligence test. If this situation persists for a longer time, it can still have a significant impact on the child’s development. We need to actively arrange special education to help with recovery. Daily advice includes making sure the child goes out more often, which can be beneficial for the child’s condition.
