i have a relative that has the features of a frog . he was born and had no oxygen for 7 minutes. is in a work camp for the mentally ill. I am trying to find out what mental issue he has. it is not down syndrome due to he does not have the features. he also does not like to speak in words and we have to make sure he answers us with yes or no. he would rather make sounds. please advise.

The boy had HYPOXIC ISCHEMIC ENCEPHALOPATHY,consequent to severe birth asphyxia at the time of birth,due to which he is having mental retardation and hence no speech.Audiological evaluation may be done and if it is intact,speech therapy may be given to develop speech.
