    I for one take a stand against people who treat or talk down to us like children

    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.

      If they have a job and talk normally and are independent, how exactly do they have an intellectual disability?
      The term should be reserved for people with real, clear and obvious intellectual disability.

      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.

      @@annetteslife Well I don't believe you should be labelled as having an intellectual disability then. Otherwise I have an intellectual disability and half the people around can have some sort of intellectual disability. My sister has an actual learning disability, she can't use a computer and she can only read and write at a very rudimentary level. Please leave the term "intellectual disability" for the people that really require it. "disability" is a very serious word.

      @@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

    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:
