#asktheexperts hi Doctor my 3year old son have not yet started speaking, some says it can be a sign of autism..this make me tensed please advise

A. Hello ma’am The child is not speaking as per the age that does not mean that your child is autistic. There are a lot of signs associated with autism which is not responding to name not making an eye contact not following simple instructions you know there is a simple science for that but if your child is not only speaking then you should be consulting a speech therapist for the same with proper therapy is an exercise your child will start to speak over the period
