Question
A child raised by a grandmother in the countryside lacks interaction with peers and now, upon being reunited, shows timidity and reluctance to communicate, having pediatric autism. What are the typical symptoms of pediatric autism?
Answer
Pediatric autism, also known as autism, primarily manifests in three aspects: first, communication disorders, where the child may lack interest in social interaction and find it difficult to establish normal peer relationships; second, language disorders, which may include delayed or abnormal language development, or even complete loss of language ability; and finally, stereotypical behaviors such as repetitive movements or obsession with certain objects. Parents should be patient when caring for their children and closely observe any changes in their behavior. If any abnormalities are detected, it is important to take the child to a pediatrician for professional assessment and treatment. Additionally, in daily life, it is encouraged to have children drink plenty of water and maintain good living habits.
