Hi, my son is 2,5 ys old and still not talking. How can I check out if he is autistic? He usually likes to play with other children and enjoy music.

Hi, it is crucial to identify the disease in the early childhood. But, it is characteristic for autistic children to be antisocial, and if your child likes to play with other children it is not very likely he is autistic. Autistic children display problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and exhibit repetitive behaviors or narrow, obsessive interests. Severity of these disorders can also widely vary. Still, you need to know that there is no cure for autism. Therapies are designed to fight specific symptoms and can lead to improvement.
