Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of mentally retarded children?Doctor's answer:
Since the manifestations of children with intellectual disabilities are not identical, individuals with mild intellectual disability generally do not have physical damage to their brains but rather functional impairments. During infancy, their motor development is delayed, and even as they grow older, they may not be able to walk until long-term training is provided. Their language development is severely impaired, often limited to using gestures and sounds for communication. This is only a professional perspective, but a definitive diagnosis is still required—late speech or other factors do not automatically equate to intellectual disability.
