Question
My child is acting out of the group in kindergarten, playing alone, silent. What are the characteristics of autism?
Answer
Autistic individuals dislike interacting with others, have difficulty expressing themselves, poor self-care abilities, and obvious learning disabilities. They may also show an interest in new things and may have self-harm or violent tendencies. Parents should pay attention to changes in their child’s behavior and seek medical examination as soon as possible if there are any abnormalities. Do not arbitrarily administer medication during the onset of the disease and suggest taking the child out for more activities.
