6. Intellectual Disabilities
Some people are simply born smarter than others, and having smart parents will increase the chances that a child is smart. There are also some other factors such as the child’s environment when they are growing up, their nutrition, and the education that they receive. Another factor behind intellect is certain genetic conditions.
Patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome will sometimes experience intellectual disabilities. They will tend to experience learning difficulties from a young age and will remain behind other people in terms of intellect as adults. The severity of any intellectual disabilities can vary considerably from patient to patient.
