Question
What causes children to not speak or walk?
Answer
At 6 months old, if a child cannot hold their head up, walks on their toes, and has their hands curled backward, there may be issues with intellectual development, as well as symptoms of autism or autism spectrum disorder. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for an intellectual assessment first. If the child has intellectual disability, it is advisable to seek treatment at a children’s rehabilitation department in the hospital as soon as possible. We know that pediatric neurological diseases can cause significant harm to children, and if not treated promptly or with incorrect methods, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s situation and seek treatment in a timely manner.
