sign of intellectual disabilities

Usually when we rant about our baby's development like 'Why isn't my baby walking yet?' or 'Why doesn't my baby have teeth yet?', most people will respond with things like 'It's okay... every baby has their own time' or 'Mine was like that also, but it's okay, don't worry.' But I just read about intellectual disabilities, and now I can't stop thinking about it. It said the signs are: - Delayed developmental milestones, such as crawling, walking, or speaking. - Difficulty with social interactions or limited eye contact. - Lack of interest in toys or objects. - Trouble following simple instructions or understanding simple concepts. - Persistent difficulty in learning new skills or concepts as they grow older. - Challenges with problem-solving or reasoning tasks appropriate for their age. Basically, everything we have been concerned about—at least once! What do you think, Parents?

Hi, I'm an early interventionist and your fears are true. I have a baby and I am.constantly in fear of it too. are we ignoring it or just in denial when it happens? there is still hope before the age of 3! there is not harm to go to.specialist for assessment. the first thing that needs to go , is screen time before 36 months. mean no tv, no handphone, no ipad, no laptop, even if baby is sitting far away to see it. limit exposure to the toys with flashing lights and music. expose baby more to nature and the outside world and building social skills with people outside.
