How to determine if someone has intellectual disability?

Patient's question:

When studying, how to teach and explain is still not understood or mastered, and I'm always slow to respond in daily life. I suspect it might be due to intellectual disability. What are the symptoms of this condition? Please ask: How can one determine if they have low intelligence?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of Intellectual Disability in Children:
1. Mild MRIQ (50–70), mild adaptive behavior deficits.
2. Moderate MRIQ, moderate adaptive behavior deficits.
3. Severe MRIQ, severe adaptive behavior deficits.
4. Profound MRIQ, extreme adaptive behavior deficits.
Late speech development in children may also indicate intellectual disability. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for early treatment, thorough examination, and the development of a tailored treatment plan to help them recover quickly and grow healthily. Patience is essential for parents, as intellectual disability is a serious condition. Patients are advised to seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor’s recommendations for targeted therapy. Additionally, proper self-care, including a balanced diet, is important to avoid worsening the condition.
The above information is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
