No! A child has to be 10 years ol to stay home alone!
From a risk standpoint an ADHD intellectually handicapped 11 year old should not be left at home alone unless the care-professionals are sure he or she is competent. It is unlikely this child would be safe to be left alone. Remember that regardless of what age the law may specifify, they will also evaluate the child's mental capacity, should anything happen while the child is alone. So make sure the child -- any child -- can handle an emergency before ever leaving them alone.
The legal age to stay home alone is 12 years

It is illegal to leave any child home alone in any state, especially a child that has a medical disorder.
The state of Louisiana does not have a law that states the age in which a child can be left home alone. However it is never recommended that a child under age 12 be left home alone for any period of time.
12 in Indiana, but there are time restrictions with that. In Canada a child at the age of 11 years can go to a home alone course and after that they can stay home alone.
51 or 16 years of age
Seven years of age.
A child could usually stay home at the age of 7, but an ethical and responsible person wouldn't leave their child home alone before the age of 12.
In Maryland, the minimum age of leaving a child home alone is 8 years. Depending on the maturity of the child, I'd say that a 12 year old can be left home alone for the daytime, but overnight, the child should be at least 15.
