Noah's intellectual handicap...


What do you suppose it was? Autism? Head injury? Possibly loss of oxygen at birth due to the umbilical cord being wrapped around his neck? If I had to guess, I'd say it was more than likely the 3rd option since they had no proper medical facilities/equipment that would've caught something like that and they'd have had a better chance to remedy that. Thoughts?
