What are the characteristics of mild mental retardation?

An average IQ score is 100. A score under 70 is considered mental retardation. Borderline mental retardation is generally around 70-85 - high enough not to be considered mentally retarded, but just barely. In general, the characteristics are similar to mild mental retardation (50-70 IQ) but milder. The person may have difficulty learning in school. In adulthood, most can hold down a job that isn't highly intellectual, and they'll probably be able to live independently. Borderline mental retardation is more significant when combined with other disabilities such as ADHD or learning disabilities. Since their overall skills are somewhat lower, any additional condition will send specific areas into the impaired range. So for example if a person with an IQ of 78 had a 20 point discrepancy in verbal versus performance IQ (which is often seen in specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia or nonverbal learning disability), the lower score will be in the mild mental retardation range. In addition, they have a harder time learning compensatory strategies, such as memorizing words if you struggle with decoding, that other people with similar disabilities can use.

What is about obesity among mentally retarded?

Mentally disabled people are not able to think logically about things like dieting. They know that food tastes good, and they want it. It is hard for them to plan ahead and think that eating too much might make them fat. Think of them as very large toddlers, and you will get along better. If a toddler, or a mentally disabled person, needs to lose weight, the best way is just not to have extra food around. If they know the food is there, they will be unhappy and want it.
