Question

A child with abnormal behavior was found in the dormitory, suspected of having an intellectual disability. How should one determine the condition and seek professional help?

Answer

Intellectual disability can have various causes, such as cerebral palsy, hypothyroidism, or insufficient secretion of growth hormone. It is recommended to visit a neurology and endocrinology department for examination to determine the cause and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. As the best treatment window has been missed, the current focus of treatment should be on stabilizing symptoms and improving quality of life.
