I suffer from Mild intellectual disability I had a lot of brain bleeds as a baby and almost didn't make it. I have type 2 diabetes and scolliosis and (MID). I used to say I hate being slow so my parents would say "you're not slow it takes time to process longer"

Even if one is self aware of stigma - the social skills are needed to pro actively defending oneself and self advocating oneself - it a difficult path and often it requires a great deal of support that is not apparent in anecdotal stories of success.... your success may vary.... empathy is just the window dressing for being able find working adaption, tools, and solution which will differ between different socio economic political challenges involved

This is the best explanation of ID I have ever watched. It honest it's forthcoming it provides pathways of solutions and general better understanding of Intellectual disabilities.

How does genetic test result predict and identify functional cognitive emotional intellectual mechanical disabilities in the real world? ASD has more development support programs ID/GDD is a catch all diagnosis that has limited or no support programs. Expensive medical professional intervention need to justify their expense to the patient/parents - just saying I know you are sick and I am very sorry ....is a waste of money and effort on the part of the parent/caregiver and frankly very frustrating. Intellectual academic assessments have had a spotty reputation among minorities because in the past, biases and prejudices in intellectual assessments discriminated against POC in education. Gardner's Theory of Multiple intelligence works around the bias built into academic intellectual assessments by using other criteria for intellectual potential or achievements
