There’s ...I'll repat what I said over at LB/RB<br /><br />There’s been a lot about intellectual disability and autism and whether they are related. This article as described here- I have yet to read it- is more proof that ID is a common, but not universal symptom of autism. This is not to say that everyone with intellectual disability is autistic, but that the processes which lead to autism very often lead to intellectual disability as well. My theory is that those who suffer from autism related ID, have had more of their synapses affected. In other words their autism is indeed more severe.Ian MacGregornoreply@blogger.com
