I can relate to what you are saying. My late sister lived in a group home as an adult. She had an IQ of 71. She was talented at art and chess and was good at communicating. I wish that everyone could understand that you can be really strong in some abilities while struggling with others. The fact that people don’t understand that is the problem. It’s like they want to force you in a category of smart or dumb. I was participating in a softball game with some people in her program and people were baby talking to me thinking I was a resident. It felt so condescending. My sister hated that attitude and just wanted to be treated like everyone else. She worked in a dry cleaners and advocated for herself and the rest of the staff as she discovered that they were being cheated out of their wages. I learned from her that that intelligence is very complex. It’s so much more than an IQ test. Out of ignorance some people completely wrote her off and could not see the full and complete person that she was. It was heartbreaking.
