Individuals with Down syndrome typically have an average IQ ranging from about 40 to 70, though this can vary widely. The majority fall within the mild to moderate intellectual disability range. It's important to note that IQ tests may not fully capture the abilities and potential of individuals with Down syndrome, as they can excel in various areas outside of traditional cognitive measures.

Is Down syndrome a emotional disorder?
Technically, it's a developmental illness, but basically, yes. Down syndrome is caused by a defection in the chromosomes in a person. It happens when a third 21st chromosome is copied. It causes the person to develop slower mentally and physically. There are other problems that often accompany Down syndrome, such as hip dysplasia. This is when the person has a too shallow socket on their pelvic bone and the ball on their femur often slips out of the socket, causing it to dislocate. This can be incredibly painful, but, sometimes, the person can't feel anything. [My sister has Down syndrome]
Can Asperger's Syndrome be mistaken for high IQ?
I think it would be unlikely that Asperger's Syndrome (AS) would be misidentified as high IQ; however, a person with Asperger's Syndrome might also have a high IQ. A person with AS will have various symptoms, some of which might cause a misdiagnosis of an attention deficit disorder (ADD or ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a learning disability, or other conditions. As an example, it seems unlikely that a medical professional would explain rarely speaking, an intense interest in doorknobs, lack of eye contact, or experiencing extreme anxiety when lights flash as having a high IQ. A person can have both Asperger's Syndrome and a high IQ, only Asperger's Syndrome, or only a high IQ. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome have a high IQ. Most people with a high IQ do not have Asperger's Syndrome.
