#AskTheExpert. Hello Doctor, My 9 months daughter doesnt respond to her name majority of the times. She otherwise is active and achieving other milestones.Is there something to worry or we can let it go easy

A. hi dear The response-to-name test turned out to be a very good marker of a developmental issue. Most of the children who failed to respond to their names at 12 months of age had autism, general developmental delays, behavioral problems or social communication problems."
