I believe my son has a low IQ; he is 11 yrs old. He does not follow directions very well at all. I have to keep reminding him constantly to do something even though I just told him to do it. He has very poor grammar. Even though we corrected his sentence, a few minutes later he does it again. There are times he acts very childesh like. Is there anything that I can do to help him?
Hi, How was his overall development so far? Did he attain all milestones(like sitting, walking, running, talking) on time as expected, or was there any delay as compared to siblings/peers? Is he very hyperactive? This may indicate either a subnormal intellect or other conditions like learning disability or attention deficit disorder. Kindly take him to a developmental pediatrician or pediatric neurologist. We can do a basic evaluation including IQ assessment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
