When children reach the age where they can speak, if they still cannot speak, parents will be particularly worried that their children have autism, which has a significant impact on their physical development and may also affect their future work and life. Does a child who speaks late necessarily have autism?
Children who speak late may have autism, but it could also be due to other reasons. Autism cannot be judged solely based on a child's delayed speech. Autism, also known as autism, is usually detected before the age of three, with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, repetitive movements, rigidity, and social disorders. Children are unwilling to interact and communicate with others, often avoiding their gaze, and even unwilling to communicate with their parents.
Children speaking late may be due to a lack of language stimulation. Most children in families are taken care of by elderly parents or nannies, and they spend less time with their parents. Parents are unable to take care of their children, and their children lack communication. As a result, children tend to speak later and miss the stage of language development.
If parents always feed their children liquid or semi liquid foods, thinking that they are easier to digest and absorb, but eating these foods can lead to less exercise of the child's oral muscles, which can affect the baby's pronunciation training and cause the child to speak later. Parents need to understand the reasons and improve accordingly, and listen to the advice given by doctors more often.
