Never thought, that I would have to post this. While reading my autism medical documents, from when I was 6 yo (I’m now in my late teens), my father found some logic deficits mentioned. I never knew about it. I seem inteligent, barely do any work for school and still do great. I’m the best in class at maths and some otger subjects. I even solved this and got 110 (I know, online iq tests aren’t reliable, but I think it would have diagnosed intelectual dissability properly). My only logic issues are sudokus (I did them when I was around 6, stopped and now I’m bad at them, practically learning again) and physics at school (not terrible, but below average).

Do I have ID or not, should I test my iq professionally and how does intelectual dissability even show?

And of course for the dramatic effect: “What the hell?”

Edit: I know this is poorly written, am to lazy to edit.

Another edit: Forgot to mention, I’m known to be smart in most groups, some exceptions think I’m stupid, but most of them aren’t really academically sucessful.

    Reading comprehension is clearly not my strong suit today.

    That said I think the general idea still stands. You don’t sound like you’ve struggled with a learning disability so it’s probably best to ask a doctor with access to your medical history what that was about, if it is something that worries you.

      Where could I even find a doctor to identify it? If I go to the doctor and they diagnose me, I wouldn’t be able to get a job, any state provided license and a lot more. Then there is a school psychologist, that would tell professors and my academic sucess would probably fall.

        What? What kind of totalitarian regime do you live in?

        You don’t necessarily have to disclose medical history to a workplace, and I’d advice against it if you believe your medical history contains something you believe the workplace would use against you. I can’t speak for state provided licenses though, but at least in my country (Sweden) it depends on the challenges you face. I can’t recall if you’ve mentioned your age at all, I think you were a teenager? So if we’re generous and say that if you haven’t noticed this supposed intellectual disability in the past 18-ish years of your life, it probably isn’t anything severe, if anything at all.

        “Logic deficits” doesn’t really tell me much. It could be literally anything.

          Yes, but you have to complete a health inspection to get a job. I also don’t fully understand logic deficits, I just suspected it to be inteligence. My mother told me, i didn’t want ro answer questions at the psychological examination and nobody cared enough to force or manipulate me to answer questions.

            Yes, but you have to complete a health inspection to get a job.

            I guess this depends on what kind of job you’re after. I know for example that they are really restrictive with who gets to join the military in my country. Doing a full health inspection for any job is definitely not standard here.
