One year old can't say "Mom and Dad"

Please don't be too anxious

The important time nodes that really need to be paid attention to are these————

Generally, parents can identify the risk of early autism (also known as “autism”) by observing some “growth signals” of their children at different stages of their life, at 3, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months after the birth of the child. For example:

In addition, some autistic children may experience “skill regression” before the age of 18 months, such as suddenly stopping calling “Mom” after previously knowing how to do so.

Therefore, it is recommended that all children continue to undergo developmental screening after the age of 2 years.

Parents should pay more attention to these “radar signals” on their children’s growth path, but there is no need to be overly nervous.

If multiple warning signs are found, it is recommended to go to a medical institution in time for early professional evaluation. Early detection and early intervention can achieve the best results.
