@@thishandleistaken1011 I think low performance on standardized testing and in school means different things in different populations. So an African with a D average and a standardized testing score of 70 is probably going to be more functional m e n t ally than a European with such, because for Europeans its way below average for Africans it's normal.
I have the same problem. I struggle in school academically and learn things slower than other people. It's hard to explain what having a learning disability is like to a person that doesn't have it.
I thought I had a learning disability until I started taking my science classes for nursing. That's when I realized that my issue was that I never read nor studied more often. Here I am now; an honors student with a 4.0 GPA. My children also have autism, and my youngest one has autism and intellectual disability. I read to him every single day and play learning games with him. He's so far doing very well.
This why the term "intellectual disability" isn't the right word to describe someone who has a moderate reduction in brain function. We are now confusing mentally retarded people with those who have learning disabilities and those who are autistic.
I have a mild to moderate intellectual disability. And been struggling negatively. In Society other then me being positive in Society. I been looking for ways to change that because it feels like mine is becoming more of a behavior intellectual problem. That can led to more life failures. Then to become good life success. So. To avoid that I have had jobs and also try to attend college. Just to try and stay busy from doing other things in life and feel like it more of a smack in the face. When trying to cope. In an positive way then a negative way. And trying to.do.this without the right support makes very hard for people like myself.
I was misdiagnosed by several psychiatrists (I use that term loosely) in the Midwest as mentally retarded in the late ‘70s through early ‘80s solely due to my speech impairment. I ended up being taken to a Dominican nun at a convent in Kansas for speech therapy . I was able to graduate from high school and earn two college degrees. I truly hate the term MR. It angers me to see disabled people being discriminated/mistreated. While it took the APA until 2013 to redefine MR as intellectual disability, I applaud that change. I still struggle with my speech from time to time. However, I do not consider myself disabled.
Very well said. I have two kids on the spectrum and my youngest was recently diagnosed with Intellectual disability. I honestly don't understand where they got that from. My son can memorize a whole book by himself and he is only 2 years old. How can they possibly know?
@@Galfam in my case. I can still draw a map of the US freehand without looking at a textbook. I drew the US on the chalkboard during recess in the 3rd grade. One of the 6th grade teachers couldn't believe his eyes. LOL I'm praying for your kids. They seem to be in good hands. :)
@@Galfam as for your youngest diagnosis, I don't know. It seems like both ADD/ADHD, autism, intellectual disability are still rather broad terms. That said, we've become much better with these conditions over the past 40+ years. But much more we don't quite yet understand.
Is there an IQ test you took? if your answer is yes, how would you be assessed and what was the assessment tools ? the difficult thing is to have assessment tools.
I have the same disability and when I do have to say is I'm proud of it as well not only that my logic that I use in my imagination facts and everything that I have had to learn on my own because mostly others will put me down I learned from that you know and turn it into my strength
I know this was a year ago, but you should talk with his elementary school and see what interventions they could do with you son. Music Therapy is also a good option to help out with this!
I have the same thing and I’m 19 idk what I’m gonna say is gonna work and it never hurts to try, but take it slowly while teaching, because with me sometimes when I was 13 I was a horrible listener when I turn 14 I started to understand a little more while I gotten even older my brain is slowly growing
The person in this video is only using the R word in a historical context and that it’s been changed. I also hate the R word. I was called that by a few “educators” just because I struggle with my speech.
Having it as an adult and dealing with ignorant people is annoying as hell😒
Do you have it
@Paul Bustion They literally are. Mild intellectual disability is not what you think it is.

There’s different between learning disability and ID

Why didn’t he list delayed speech as being a possible sign of intellectual disability?
Speech is not intellectual disability
Is it possible a person to develop intelectual disability in adulthood? I mean suddenly to appear serious deficiencies but in early adulthood
I'm wondering the same, because I've always had some problems intellectually, but lately it's just been so much worse!
yeah and unfortunately that makes you vulnerable and people can use it against you.
Why the hell my doctor put that on my medical record and I don't even have that

I say the same thing i dont have that either

Is OCD a common symptom of an Intellectual disorder or associated comorbid disorder?
OCD has nothing to do with intellectual disorders.
No.

My 7 year old son just find out he had it... What do I need to do I'm needing some help idk what it is or how to help him
