    According to APA 89% of those diagnosed with intellectual disability have mild & moderate ID. In other words these people (like my intellectually disabled son) do not represent the entire spectrum of those diagnosed with ID (but the majority of them). The rest, the minority not represented here, have severe or profound ID.

    Wasn't sure why some of the people who didn't have disability were answering for them

      It is called independence. I myself have an intellectual disability and can speak very clearly. Just because some of these have Downs or FASD it doesn't mean they need to have someone to speak on their behalf

      @RaniaIsAwesome just because they have a job or are independent or can speak clearly it doesn't mean they don't have an intellectual disability! There are varying degrees of ID ranging from a mild learning disability to cases that are severe! I was born with an intellectual disability and have been living completely no roommate, no parent on my own for 28 years. I can, walk, speak, cook do anything that anyone else can do.

      @RaniaIsAwesome it is not that I don't believe you and you do make an extremely good point and that we shouldn't be labeled as such but when it comes to disability there are varying degrees ranging from very mild which is what I am to extremely severe. I always tell people in my community who make every excuse to not find work or try to live independently as possible to take the dis out of disability and look at all of the skills and abilities that you have to offer. Sorry if I was rough but you definitely made some good points and I am learning something new everyday. Everything we take for granted such as walking and communicating are all skills each and every one of us have naturally and we should be thankful for that. Enough rambling from me. Thank you and stay safe and positive

      @RaniaIsAwesome Not trying to start an argument by IDD is a spectrum kind of like the autism spectrum everyone's different on it. The people that you're talking about that can't do things for themselves usually have severe or profound IDD. Someone with Mild IDD will have an IQ around 52-69 because to have an IDD you have to have an IQ under 70. For a severe IDD you have to have an IQ around 20-34. Profound IDD is around 19 or below. Those are the people who can't live on their own. Obviously to get diagnosed with idd you have to meet the criteria (you might have to look up the criteria because I don't feel like putting it in cuz it's a lot) But just because someone doesn't have a very severe noticeable impairment doesn't mean they don't have idd is what I'm trying to say. Kinda like how some people say to people who have level 1 autism they said those people shouldn't be diagnosed with autism because they're not severely impaired but they still meet the criteria needed for autism therefore they should be diagnosed with that. Its the same thing with IDD just because someone doesn't have a severe impairment that you can see doesn't mean they don't have it. Sorry if it sounded mean I didn't mean for it to come off that way if it did I was just trying to explain it to you. I just didn't know how to word it. Sorry for grammar and punctuation.

      @RaniaIsAwesome Because 89% of those with ID have it mildly or moderately. My young son is very talented in music despite having both ID & low functioning autism. He can talk very little, intelligibly, since age 10+ but he can maybe work in future. However, budgetting requires a high level of intellect which he does not possess. So he cannot manage his money. He may give what he has, away quite easily out of compassion, to any cunning professional conman, who pretends to be destitute.
      There is a whole range of differences - it is a spectrum.
      Having said that, I am involved in charity work with various charities that support them & I can assure you that not a single working person with ID that I come across, have total, full financial independence. Not one. They need support in managing the complexity that is finance.
      In short, they have ‘supported’ independence which is different to what you may be thinking. 🤔

    I am high functioning on intellectual disability, and I'm wondering if some people like me have a high IQ. Is that true? Or there's no such thing?! I still hope everything they heard is a joke!

      The highest IQ that someone with intellectual disability can have is I think 69 because you have to have an IQ below 70 to have an intellectual disability, from what I know at least. Sorry for grammar and punctuation.

      @@veydasnook4546 That is what all the psychologists have written & said. So, Veyda, you are correct. Special Spod is confused. It isn’t possible to have a high IQ & intellectual disability at the same time.
      If you have say, high functioning Aspergers, that means your IQ is average/above average (not a low 69) so you may instead, have SPECIFIC learning disorders/difficulties (like dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, etc, which confusingly are called learning disabilities in USA). But in UK, learning disability IS intellectual disability!
      But all those above named, specific disorders & struggles are NOT ‘general cognitive intellectual’ disability. Hope that helps, Special Spod. Especially this LINK from United Kingdom:
