Symptoms of intellectual developmental delay appearing at age 13 may manifest as poor learning ability, school avoidance, weak language organization skills, unclear speech, and even severely impaired communication. Additionally, the child's reaction abilities may be noticeably poorer compared to peers. When such conditions occur, caution is warranted, and prompt medical evaluation and treatment are recommended.
