How to Deal with Intellectual Disability in a 4-Year-Old Boy

Patient's question:

Speaking isn't complete; she's only four years old. Just interacting with the child makes it feel like she has the intelligence of a two-year-old.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the first consideration should be whether there are issues with intellectual development, as well as the possibility of symptoms of autism or ASD. It is recommended to first visit a regular hospital for an intellectual assessment. If the child has intellectual disabilities, it is advised to seek early medical treatment in the pediatric rehabilitation department for proper treatment.
