When symptoms of intellectual disability are not apparent until after age 17, ________

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "intellectual disability" refers to significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills, originating before the age of 18. If symptoms become apparent after age 17, it does not fit the criteria for intellectual disability; instead, conditions manifesting with cognitive decline after this age might be considered under the umbrella of dementia or other diagnoses, not intellectual disability.
