There are often misconceptions about adult who have a mental disability. Here are some facts:
- “Intellectual disability” (previously known as mental retardation) means that an individual mentally develops at a below-average rate. These people can have learning difficulties and trouble adjusting socially.
- Intellectual disability (sometimes called “cognitive disability”) is not a disease or a contagious condition.
- This type of disability which is different in everyone (just like a fingerprint) can be caused by any condition which impairs development of the brain before or during birth or in early childhood.
- There are more than 250 causes of intellectual disability.
- In the US, roughly 4.6 million people are identified as having an intellectual disability.
- Children with cognitive disabilities may develop slower than other children in terms of speaking, walking, and taking care of themselves (showering, eating, dressing).
- About 25% of cases withmental disability are caused by a genetic disorder.
- A poll conducted in the UK concluded that “retarded” was the most offensive disability-related word.
- The majority of individuals affected by these disabilities show only mild symptoms and, with the right support, can greatly improve, learn, and develop.
- 92% of adults with mental disability live independently or with family members, while 8% live in an institution or group home.
- In about 25 to 33% of children born with mental disability, the cause is unknown.
