What should be done if suffering from intellectual disability?

Patient's question:

The son has rarely smiled since he was born. At first, I didn't pay much attention. Walking back and forth, I saw other people's children were all lively and energetic, and I felt very worried. Please ask; what should be done if he has low intelligence?

Doctor's answer:

According to what you have described, first do not draw any conclusions on your own. It is essential to have the child undergo an intelligence test at a children's hospital or a neurology hospital. Based on the test results, you can then adopt the teaching methods you believe are appropriate. Many children's aversion to studying has nothing to do with intelligence; it is simply a matter of interest, environment, or methods. For severely intellectually impaired individuals, it is recommended to seek medical attention as early as possible. Follow the doctor's advice for early treatment, and do not switch to new medications at will, otherwise the efficacy may be counterproductive. Thank you.
