Question

Because my child is five and a half months old, she cries when other children touch her, and she herself doesn’t like to touch other children. When other children play with her, she turns her head away, and sometimes she wants to cry. Is this normal?

Answer

Child autism, also known as childhood autism, is a pervasive developmental disorder. Autism typically begins before the age of three. To date, the exact cause of autism remains unclear, but research has found that autism is highly related to genetic inheritance and has a biological basis. Although we currently have no immediate effective treatment methods, there are still ways to deal with autism. Active treatment can significantly improve the social function and quality of life of patients.
