The 41 pages that link to Intellectual disability, each with the reason it gives.

• Autism spectrum disorderCompared with: It can co-occur with autism, but neither condition implies the other.

• Intelligence quotientRelated: IQ assessment can contribute to diagnosis, but adaptive functioning and developmental history also matter.

• NeurodiversityRelated: Its inclusion raises questions about whether a diversity framework adequately represents people with high support needs.

• Autism spectrumCompared with: It can co-occur with autism, but it is a distinct condition and does not describe every autistic person.

• Developmental delayCompared with: Developmental delay is often a provisional description; intellectual disability requires broader, persistent criteria.

• Neurodevelopmental disorderBroader topic: It foregrounds effects on reasoning and everyday adaptive skills.

• Psychological assessmentRelated: Its identification requires evaluating both intellectual performance and everyday adaptive functioning.

• Diagnostic overshadowingRelated: Communication and support needs can make it harder to distinguish new symptoms from a person’s usual presentation.

• Adaptive behaviorRelated: Adaptive functioning is considered alongside intellectual functioning in its diagnosis.

• AutismCompared with: Autism and intellectual disability are distinct; either may occur without the other.

• Cognitive impairmentCompared with: Its developmental onset distinguishes it from cognitive abilities that decline after being acquired.

• Developmental disabilityBroader topic: It is one specific condition captured by many definitions of developmental disability.

• MicrocephalyRelated: It can occur with microcephaly, but head size alone cannot predict cognitive ability.

• Fetal alcohol spectrum disorderCompared with: FASD can affect learning and reasoning without meeting criteria for intellectual disability.

• Intelligence testingRelated: Assessment can contribute to diagnosis, alongside adaptive-functioning evidence and developmental history.

• Asperger syndromeCompared with: The former label was generally applied when intellectual development was not significantly delayed.

• Stanford–Binet Intelligence ScalesRelated: The scale can contribute to assessing intellectual functioning, alongside adaptive-behavior evidence.

• Developmental coordination disorderCompared with: Motor impairment must exceed what is expected from general developmental ability.

• Specific learning disorderCompared with: Academic difficulties across domains may reflect broad intellectual limitations rather than a specific skill disorder.

• Executive dysfunctionCompared with: Executive dysfunction can occur without the broad intellectual and adaptive limitations defining this diagnosis.

• Special OlympicsNarrower topic: The organization’s programs are designed for athletes with this disability.

• Savant syndromeRelated: It is one impairment that may coexist with savant abilities.

• Cri du chat syndromeRelated: The degree of intellectual disability varies among affected individuals.

• Dravet syndromeRelated: Many people with Dravet syndrome develop learning and adaptive difficulties over time.

• Lennox–Gastaut syndromeRelated: Cognitive impairment is common and can require continuing educational and practical support.

• Sotos syndromeCompared with: Developmental delay in Sotos syndrome varies and does not always meet criteria for intellectual disability.

• Specific language impairmentCompared with: The classic label required language difficulties not explained by general intellectual disability.

• Kabuki syndromeRelated: Developmental and learning difficulties are common, though their severity varies in Kabuki syndrome.

• Kim PeekRelated: Peek’s uneven abilities included substantial everyday support needs alongside exceptional memory.

• 1p36 deletion syndromeRelated: It is a common long-term feature of the syndrome.

• High-functioning autismCompared with: The label often distinguishes autism without intellectual disability, but does not describe a person’s full abilities.

• Rubinstein–Taybi syndromeRelated: Its severity varies widely among people with the syndrome.

• Smith–Magenis syndromeRelated: The degree of intellectual disability varies and informs educational and daily-living supports.

• Special Olympics World GamesRelated: Eligibility centers on athletes with intellectual disabilities.

• 22q13 deletion syndromeCompared with: A known 22q13 deletion can provide a specific genetic explanation for developmental impairment.

• Classic autismRelated: Historical descriptions often associated classic autism with intellectual disability, but the profiles vary.

• Cornelia de Lange syndromeRelated: Learning and adaptive abilities are commonly affected, with severity varying between individuals.

• David WechslerRelated: Wechsler scores became one part of assessment, although diagnosis also requires evidence about adaptive functioning.

• Developmental disorderBroader topic: It illustrates how developmental disorders can affect both reasoning and everyday adaptive skills.

• Jacobsen syndromeRelated: Developmental and learning difficulties are common, though their severity varies.

• Pitt–Hopkins syndromeRelated: Many people with Pitt–Hopkins syndrome have substantial learning and adaptive support needs.
