Mild mental retardation has an IQ score between 50 and 69. According to the International Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scale and the Chinese grading standards for intellectual disability, those over 7 years of age with IQ scores between 50 and 69 are considered mildly mentally retarded.
Mild mental retardation is also known as mild mental retardation. These patients usually have little difference in appearance from normal people, and their language expression and abstract comprehension skills are slightly slower than those of children of the same age before school age. After entering elementary school, they have difficulties in learning and may fail or repeat a grade, but they may eventually complete elementary school or the first year of elementary school.
Through training, the patient is able to perform simple, unskilled work in adulthood. Can live independently in less stressful environments, but needs help in more stressful environments such as dealing with family relationships and housing disputes.
Mild mental retardation can occur in later life, but it is a phenomenon in which a person acquires full intelligence in early life but loses it in later life, and is now collectively referred to as mild cognitive impairment.
Mild cognitive impairment is recommended to consult a doctor for standardized treatment.
