Doctor's answer:
Intellectual disability, also known as intellectual deficiency, refers to a persistent impairment of cognitive functions and mental activities caused by damage to the brain's organ or incomplete brain development. Due to harmful factors such as genetic variations, infections, poisoning, cranial brain injuries, cranial brain malformations, or endocrine abnormalities, the brain of a fetus or infant cannot develop normally or develop incompletely, and the development of intellectual activities remains at a relatively lower stage, which is referred to as intellectual disability.
