Patient's question:
My son is now twelve years old and is in the third grade of primary school. He often dozes off in class and doesn't really like reading. He never does his homework. He has been developing late since he was young. He couldn't speak until he was five and started walking very late. His expressive ability is poor.When others hit him, he never retaliates. On the surface, he doesn't look like he has intellectual disabilities, but he does show some signs of it. He loves playing computer games. Compared to his peers, he is quite short. He loves fidgeting, and in class, he is either sleeping or talking to someone.
Doctor's answer:
Shows signs of low intelligence, but according to your description, it hasn't reached the level of severe intellectual disability. Because his intellectual development is slower than others, he couldn't keep up with the pace when he was in school. As a result, he dislikes studying and loves playing games. Since games are simpler, parents should provide more help at this time. Help him improve his intelligence more, so he can catch up with his peers. Only then will he develop an interest in studying.
