The DSM-5 and AAIDD both require problems with adaptive functioning and an IQ score ≤ 70 for a diagnosis of Intellectual Disability. However, the AAIDD places more emphasis on the concept of "needed supports" for individuals with Intellectual Disability, which includes assistance with daily living, employment, education, and social participation. This concept is not as prominent in the DSM-5 definition of Intellectual Disability.
