Question
If a child has poor hand and foot coordination, limited mobility, and does not speak or smile, and is unable to use the bathroom independently, does this indicate intellectual disability?
Answer
Based on your description, whether it is an intellectual disability needs to be confirmed by a pediatrician after examination. It is recommended that you closely observe the child’s behavior and check for normal development of the cerebellum. If diagnosed with intellectual disability, do not worry too much. Early detection of symptoms and targeted treatment can help alleviate the condition and improve the chances of recovery.
