Patient's question:
My son is already 13 years old this year, but his intelligence is not the same as that of a normal person. He has intellectual disability, which is clearly reflected in his slow reaction. Sometimes his speech is also a bit unclear, and he doesn't know what's wrong. I really want him to get better. Can my son's condition be cured?Doctor's answer:
There are several factors that can lead to intellectual disability in 13-year-old children, including genetic diseases, consanguineous marriage, or prenatal infection and poisoning. Additionally, it can be caused by cranial brain diseases such as epilepsy, hydrocephalus, or brain tumors. This requires you to go to the pediatric department of a hospital to determine the cause, and then effective re-adjustment can be implemented. It is advisable to communicate with the child as much as possible and encourage them, and they can receive re-adjustment treatment at professional children's rehabilitation institutions.
