How is child mental retardation formed?

Patient's question:

The child next door is 2 years old this year, but he still can't answer. He's always talking nonsense and can't be understood. An examination revealed that he is weak, so I want to ask how does developmental disability in children occur?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women taking incorrect bacterial medications, falling, malnutrition, drug use, smoking, drug abuse, or X-ray exposure may lead to intellectual disability at birth. During labor: premature birth, difficult labor, infant aspiration, bacterial infection, or low birth weight can cause poor brain development or injury, resulting in intellectual disability. Infants and toddlers: seizures, hypoglycemia, bacterial infection (such as meningitis, jaundice), malnutrition, or accidental brain injury can interfere with intellectual development.
