According to Parenting and Child Health Services,
- "Some boys can be affected only mildly, but some can have quite severe intellectual disabilities. Most have moderate disability. Girls usually have milder delay.
- Delays in learning, speech and communication skills, gross motor skills (such as walking and running) and fine motor skills (eg holding and using a pencil) can be a part of the developmental disability."
