Question
My child is 4.5 years old and still can’t speak. When he was a few months old, he couldn’t sit or crawl either. A physical examination found a little swelling outside his brain. What should the parents do?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to consider whether the child has developmental issues or symptoms of autism or autism spectrum disorder. It is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital for an intelligence test. If the child’s intellectual development is confirmed to be low, it should be treated as soon as possible by the pediatric rehabilitation department. We know that if pediatric neurology diseases are not treated in time or treated improperly, the condition may worsen rapidly, causing serious harm to the child. Therefore, seeking timely and regular treatment at a professional hospital is crucial.
