In recent weeks I have met a pretty and sweet girl with what I consider her only biggest problem: her IQ. She is slow, does not remember things and has no concentration at all, has no arguments, systematically repeats the usual twenty words. (A bit like the character of Forrest Gump, for those who do not know what low iq means). I feel like I like it to go deeper, but I wonder if it's not a mistake. Do you have similar experiences?

I think we are at different levels of understanding, as many other users cannot see what is the intellectual disability is. I've known this person for almost eight weeks,we talk everyday, she's not stupid, she doesn't do anything stupid, but she has an intellectual disability.

One word answers for any amount of time doesn't itself suggest an intellectual disability though.

What else does she do? What is she interested in?
