Intellectual Disability (Mental Retardation)

It is the type of support typically required for most mildly retarded individuals.

Usually a doctor is given the decision of declaring how mentally disabled an individual is. Some people can understand a few things but cannot think much, those people may be considered 40% disabled. People who cannot understand anything we say may be considered 80% or more disabled.

It all depends on how much individual thinking the person can do by himself. If they cant think like a regular individual then they would be termed disabled.

Open lip schizencephaly is a genetic disorder in which the cysts are not completely surrounded by gray matter. This disorder affects people with varying severity, but some of the symptoms are: weakness in the extremities, mental retardation, seizures, and loss of muscle toning. Usually it is a disorder that one is born with.

Yes, individuals with mental retardation (now commonly referred to as intellectual disability) may qualify for Social Security benefits if their condition significantly impairs their ability to work or perform daily activities. The Social Security Administration (SSA) evaluates eligibility based on the severity of the disability and its impact on the person's functional capabilities. If deemed eligible, they may receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. It's essential to provide thorough medical documentation and evidence of the disability for the application process.

As there academic potential is, put mildly, limited, they are at times a disruptive influence in schools and thus are usually (educated) in specialized institutions. Many retarded people are also targeted by abusers- consider the case of the Scherzer Bros in the l98o"s a developmentally disabled ( translate retarded) girl was sexually assaulted by the athletic and ( chic) Scherzer Brothers. these things happen, so to prevent it these kids are often placed in special classes or institutionalized.

Mentally challenged is one option.

I call it despicable behavior, but the actual answer depends on exactly how they are taken advantage of. Sexually, it could be considered rape or molestation. Financially, fraud. Physically, assault or abuse.

In addition the term "retard" is now considered a term of abuse when referring to any disability. Therefore the reference would have been "a person suffering a mental disability" or The term developmental delay is popular among caretakers and parents of individuals with intellectual disability.

The two conditions are not at all related. Autism does not cause mental retardation.

Mildly retarded people can live alone if necessary and often get married. Profoundly retarded people need caring in their whole life.

Mentally retarded is not a medical term. A brain hemorrhage may cause brain damage that could affect one or many functions of the brain.

IQ and mental disability are different issues for the most part. It is quite possible to be intellectually gifted but developmentally impaired. The actual IQ scale is measured in standard deviations from average, a standard deviation is worth 12 or 16 points depending on the test administered.

If all you are asking for is a quick guideline to expectations, anyone in the first standard deviation IQ 84/88 (test dependent) or higher is normal, at 68/76 (same) or higher will have some difficulties with the tasks expected of a normal person, at levels below these numbers simply carrying out daily requirements might pose an obstacle depending on the individual and their individual challenges.

Mental retardation could be the result of a number of things. These include an accident that resulted in physical damage to the baby's brain despite the cushioning effect of the fluid in the womb, chemical substances exchanged between the mother and the embryo through the placenta. Sometimes mental retardation is inherited from one or both parents through the genes or genetic damage occurs as cells divide in the early stages of pregnancy.

To start out, nothing, either animal or human, should be called retarded in ANY case. There are animals, however, born with mutations or that could be injured in accidents, so in that way, yes, there are squirrels that could be brain damaged or be a mutation so they might act differently.

Same thing. It's just a twist of words.

Mentally challenged is a euphemism for mentally retarded.

Psychological needs also complicate the biological explanation, which identifies the temporal/frontal lobe of the brain as the area for regulating libido. Persons suffering from injuries to this part of the brain are at increased risk for aggressive behavior and other behavioral problems including personality changes and socially inappropriate sexual behavior such as hypersexuality The same symptom can occur after unilateral temporal lobectomy. There are other biological factors that are associated with hypersexuality such as premenstrual changes, and the exposure to virilising hormones in childhood or in utero.It should be noted that there can be psychological causes for this condition. Hypersexuality, in these cases, may be related to the longing for intimacy with another individual. Often, this desire is inappropriately expressed. This can be, once again, related to the condition of dementia.

Possibly not if they were severely retarded.

You don't need to know. You just have to love her.

From the least retarded to the most severe- Moron, Imbecile, and Idiot. For some reason the middle category has faded into disuse. Moron and Idiot are tossed around in casual conversation, but imbecile is rarely used.
