That's sad. Saw this today:
At six months of age, babies born during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic scored lower on developmental screening tests for social and motor skills -- regardless of whether their mothers had COVID during pregnancy -- compared to babies born just before the pandemic.

My youngest is behind in her speech and language development. She’s just turned three. I think it’d be the case even without the pandemic but I’m quite certain it’s not helped.

I hear you.
The in-laws have a 4 year-old that has had pretty much zero interaction with any other human, let alone other children, in their entire life.
It's not just a covid thing though, although covid has been a nucleating point and facilitator for all degrees of psychoses.
