Patient's question:
Unable to take care of himself, he cannot eat or drink normally or use chopsticks (he just plays with them). When I teach him, he ignores it completely and refuses to learn. I'm very anxious. Seeing that children of the same age go to school makes me even more anxious. Do I still need to take him for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
The child has mild cerebral developmental disorder and mental retardation. Children with cerebral developmental disorder have lower motor skills than normal children of the same age and poor motor self-control ability. Those with mild impairment may only show slightly less flexible or clumsy hand and foot movements, while severe cases may not be able to grasp objects with both hands, walk with both feet, some may even not be able to roll over, sit up, stand, or chew and swallow normally.
