Essentials for diagnosis
(1) Intelligence level is obviously lower than that of a healthy child of the same age, namely, IQ is two SDs lower than average value, below 70 (Infants can be clinically judged that their intelligence is markedly lower than the average level, for the present IQ tests available cannot provide infantile IQ).

(2) Simultaneously, the patient has the defect or injury of adaptive function, namely, the individual function matching with his or her age and mass culture such as the defect or injury of social skill, social responsibility, conversation, daily life management, ability of independence and self-reliance.

(3) The disease occurs during developmental stage, below the age of 18.

In TCM, a disease or a symptom might be caused by one pathogenic factor, even two or three pathogenic factors. When diagnosing a disease or a symptom, TCM doctors must follow the principle of "Syndrome Dfferentiation", and then "Suit the Remedy to the Case". In order to gain a more definite and valuable diagnosis, it's important and necessary for the doctor to learn the detailed health information of the patient, including his/her disease duration, age, sex, height, weight, family history, urine, stool, diet, sleep, sweat, energy, mood (emotion), as well as the tongue conditions and the palm conditions, etc. If you would want our expert to create a TCM diagnosis, you're welcome to contact us.
