What is mental retardation?

The American Association on Mental Retardation gives the following definition: [2]

Mental retardation (MR) refers to substantial limitations in present functioning. It starts before age 18 and is characterized by significantly subaverage intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with related limitations in two or more of the following applicable adaptive skill areas:
  • communication
  • self-care
  • home living
  • social skills
  • community use
  • self-direction
  • health and safety
  • functional academics
  • leisure
  • work
Traditionally, MR has been classified into 5 categories:
  • mild MR – IQ from (50-55) to 70
  • moderate MR – IQ from (35-40) to (50-55)
  • severe MR – IQ from (20-25) to (35-40)
  • profound MR – IQ below (20-25)
  • MR, severity unspecified – this is diagnosed when there is a strong suspicion of MR, but the individual cannot be tested with standardized intelligence tests

Mind

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines mind as "the element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons"

Hindsight is Always 20/20

English Phrase: Hindsight Is 20/20 This expression means: It’s easier to analyze and evaluate situations when we’re looking back on them in the past, than when we’re in the present moment. The word hindsight refers to looking back or reflecting on things in the past, and 20/20 refers to perfect vision. So when we look back on situations in the past, we see things clearly that were not clear to us at the time.

Mind or Thought... Popular Definition

In popular usage, mind is frequently synonymous with thought: the private conversation with ourselves that we carry on "inside our heads".[15] Thus we "make up our minds", "change our minds" or are "of two minds" about something. One of the key attributes of the mind in this sense is that it is a private sphere to which no one but the owner has access. No one else can "know our mind". They can only interpret what we consciously or unconsciously communicate
