Dr. Ma Yan
A 9-year-old child showing signs of autism may be unwilling to communicate with others and tend to be introverted. They often prefer to be alone, playing with toys by themselves and are reluctant to share with others. Additionally, the child may experience delayed language development, making it difficult to communicate normally with people. In academic settings, the child might also seem slow in responding and show little interest in answering teachers' questions.
