Question
What symptoms may be present in children with low intelligence?
Answer
Children with low intelligence may exhibit a range of specific symptoms in early childhood. These symptoms include, but are not limited to: difficulties in breastfeeding, such as not being able to suckle or easily vomiting; longer sleep duration and less response to external stimuli; delayed mastery of basic movements (such as sitting, standing, walking, speaking) compared to peers; lack of interest in the surrounding environment and not observing things around; still putting blocks or other objects into their mouth at the age of 2 to 3; continued drooling after the age of 2 or 3; a shrill or weak cry and a lack of variation in pitch; lack of interest in toys or not knowing how to play with toys; transitioning from excessive sleep during infancy to excessive activity without purposeful movement. These symptoms may indicate issues with the child’s intellectual development, and timely professional medical evaluation and assistance should be sought.
