A member asked:
Interested to know if people with mental retardation know that they are retarded?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some do some don't: Most older kids and adults will be aware of their learning and performance difficulties when they have milder forms of intellectual impairment. The more profound the impairment, the less likely they are aware of the ramifications.
