Question

My child has grown up but has a low IQ. The hospital has diagnosed it as intellectual disability. What should I do?

Answer

Based on your description, the 12-year-old child’s intellectual disability may be a congenital developmental disorder with no effective treatment available at present. It is important to maintain a positive attitude. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination and assessment, clearly diagnose the condition and possible causes, and consider appropriate rehabilitation measures. For severe cases of intellectual disability, it is advisable to seek treatment immediately and hope to follow the doctor’s instructions for symptomatic treatment.
