Question
My child’s intelligence development is slow; they cannot speak and only express themselves through actions and simple words. They have no concept of numbers and only recognize red colors. They often cry and are temperamental. Is this considered intellectual disability?
Answer
It is recommended to have your child undergo a regular pediatric intelligence test to understand their intellectual status. In daily life, it is important to exercise and communicate with your child more, as well as provide education to help them grow. If you confirm that your child has an intellectual disability, seek medical attention immediately and avoid using medication blindly.
