Possible autism

2018-02-24 16:39:50
I have a 7 year old brother who can only speak some words like mama,papa and when we're calling his attention it seems that he is not hearing any. We have already been to a pedia and recommended us to see a neurodevelopmental pedia because according to the doctor, her cells in the brains possibly did not develop as some other kids. We also wants to know if there is a neurodev pedia avail at PGH and what time she is avail. Thanks and Godbless.

The information given about the child is too less to make any judgments. The problem could range from a simple understimulation/hearing impairment to a diagnosis of Autism.
Next Steps
The child needs a detailed evaluation by a team of Child Psychiatrist, Speech therapist and may be a neurologist.
