Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
The prevalence of intellectual disability is approximately 1,000 per 100,000 (1%) of the overall population[2].
Natural History,Complications and Prognosis
Prognosis
The best established prognostic factors for individual outcome within autism spectrum disorder are presence or absence of associated intellectual disability and language impairment (e.g., functional language by age 5 years is a good prognostic sign) and additional mental health problems. Epilepsy, as a comorbid diagnosis, is associated with greater intellectual disability and lower verbal ability.
