Hi Ms, nak tanye, my boy dah 1.5 tahun, tapi masih tak boleh sebut full words, ada apa yang saya kena buat tak?
Adakah pendedahan terhadap youtube/phone boleh menyebabkan anak lambat bercakap? Atau bercakap tidak lancar?
Yes there is evidence dan research yang mengatakan screen time yang keterlaluan boleh menganggu speech development
Hi Ms. Charlene, how will screen time and TV affect my child's development? How much is too much?
Its recommended that children has access to 0 screen time if they are 2 years old and younger. As long as your child is engaging and playing with you more than watching a screen, its safe! But a rule of thumb is generally nothing more than 1-2 hours a day.
How is autism diagnosed? And if i found out my child has autism, what should I do?
Generally autism is diagnosed by a developmental pediatrician, through a parent interview, and observation on the child. If your child is diagnosed with autism, the best thing to do is to start intervention asap. The best outcomes do come from early intervention
Is autism genetic? Would my second child gets it if my first born has it?
There is some genetic link but its not causal. Eg: if you have one child with autism, it does not mean all your children will have autism. However there is a link. Hence the chances of having another child on the spectrum is higher, if you have a child with autism
