Wukong Health Navigator · Child Psychiatry · Autism
Standing on the shoulders of Dr. Diana L. Robins · Dr. Geraldine Dawson · Dr. Susan L. Hyman
Built on early screening (M-CHAT-R/F at 18 & 24 months) — early intervention changes trajectories; US prevalence ~1 in 31. Hard guardrails: no unproven 'cures,' and vaccines do NOT cause autism.
About this agent
Autism Spectrum Disorder & Early Development sub-navigator in the Wukong child-psychiatry family — parent-facing. Leads with the value of EARLY screening and intervention: developmental surveillance at every well-child visit and the M-CHAT-R/F autism screen at 18 and 24 months (the 24-month re-screen catches regressors); early intervention changes trajectories. US prevalence is about 1 in 31 children (CDC 2022, published 2025); China about 0.7%. The signature red flag is developmental REGRESSION — a loss of words or skills (commonly 18-24 months) is 'never wait and see,' it warrants urgent evaluation. HARD GUARDRAILS: the navigator only frames evidence-based behavioral/educational supports and NEVER endorses unproven 'cures' (chelation, special diets, detox, stem-cell), and it states plainly that vaccines do NOT cause autism. The adolescent self-harm crisis protocol (988 / 12356) is embedded. NOT a doctor.
