Question
During school hours, the child is completely immersed in his own world, not communicating with others. When the teacher tries to talk to him, he is preoccupied with himself. He gets distracted by toys, doesn’t like to talk, and rarely communicates with family members. Relevant tests and checks have been conducted, and the results show everything is normal. No treatment has been received in the past, and now help is sought to understand the possible illnesses the child may have and to seek appropriate treatment methods.
Answer
It is recommended that parents take the child to a children’s hospital for a comprehensive examination. Based on the described situation, a hearing test for the child should be conducted first. If the test results are normal, then an autism-related examination should be conducted. Symptoms of autistic children usually include a lack of social interaction, isolation, and in addition to language disorders, some children may also have intellectual issues.
