Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of intellectual disability and what issues need to be paid attention to for the diagnosis of intellectual disability? What are the pathological manifestations and symptoms of intellectual disability? What are the symptoms exhibited by intellectual disability?Doctor's answer:
Intellectual disability is a group of symptoms caused by certain diseases or other harmful factors; it is not a distinct medical condition. In mild intellectual disability, some patients may have brain atrophy, poor brain development, or associated ataxia. 1. Sensory processing speed slows down; it is easier to understand the impact of visual pathways than sensory impacts. 2. Attention is severely focused, with very narrow attention span. 3. Memory is poor; many skills can only be learned after repeated practice, and they are easily forgotten without practice. 4. Language ability is poor, and only simple words and phrases can be used. 5. Thinking ability is low, lacking concrete thinking skills, imagination, and inductive reasoning, making it difficult to apply knowledge to new situations. Intellectual disability poses significant harm to children. Once parents notice symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis.
