Accepted Answer

hi dear
Institute and ASHA, have found a child's failure to consistently respond to one's name by their 1st birthday is often one of the most consistent early indicators of autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. This does NOT mean your child has autism – or any other condition.

Answer

Hello mom accurately nothing can be said about it , you have to get him examined by a specialist for it to get a clear picture and therapy could be very much helpful for it
