Low IQ and functioning well in society

Post Reply New Topic

Is it normal that I can function in society with so many mental health disorders, alongside with low profile IQ and Autism? I can function in society, even though I have mental health disorders, alongside with developmental disorders.


I feel strange.


I have lower IQ than average, but I can function well in society.


I can answer people's questions on Quora.


I can seem very smart, by masking my symptoms of Mental Retardation.


I can do some neurotypical tasks, but I cannot do simple math and some simple academies at all, I don't have normal judgment, I act very childish everyday.


I feel so confused, I am mentally ret*d, but I can do neurotypical tasks.

I also wanted to say that having so many mental disorders, alongside with Autism is very scary. I feel so delusional, because of my history of developmental delays.


I also have my old IEP records that states that I would bully people on purpose while I had Bipolar Disorder with psychotic features. I also have Conduct Disorder.


When used to look through all my IEP records, I started to feel guilty and ashamed of myself for bullying people, but I was not sure if I truly was bullying people, because I was psychotic at that time, but what I did to my peers was rude.

I feel bad, I feel ashamed of myself for being rude to others in the past, but the problem is that I knew what I did was wrong, even though I was psychotic at that time.




I have history of being diagnosed with Unspecified Intellectual Disability, Unspecified Neurodevelopmental Disorder, Specific Learning Disorder, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Stereotypic Movement Disorder, Unspecified Communication Disorder, Language Disorder and Speech Sound Disorder when I was an infant.


When I was a young teenager, I developed some symptoms of Schizoaffective Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Pedophilic Disorder.



I feel guilty and ashamed of myself for my criminality on the computer for four five years starting from age 13 and one criminality by breaking my brother's best friend's window, while I was psychotic.


When I was a little child, I would be aggressive and sometimes used to make threatening gestures and do some scary things if my routine changed.




My IQ from my childhood and early adolescence:

Math == IQ of 20
science == IQ of 20
Imaginative = IQ of 120
logic == IQ of 120
Emotional Intelligence = IQ of 19
Verbal Intelligence = IQ of 19
Cognitive test = IQ of 19
Social intelligence test = 19
Computer science = 60
history == IQ of 19




My IQ as an adult:

Math == IQ of 20
science == IQ of 20
Imaginative = IQ of 120
logic == IQ of 120
Emotional Intelligence = IQ of 120
Verbal Intelligence = IQ of 50
Cognitive test = IQ of 120
Social intelligence test = 119
Computer science = 60
history == IQ of 19

Reminds me to:

Yes it is normal .... it says alot about you. My sister is the same. She has a low IQ, yet raised me, owns her own home, worked hard all her life, retired early, attempted many times to pass her driver’s license, owns her own car, teaches tai chi and is an amazing dancer. Things that enhance your chances at doing well in spite of having a low IQ, tend to be having a predictable earlier life, with the rules being the rules, less chaos, more predictability than not.

I’d be relieved that you’re able to feel those emotions, as apposed to NOT feeling remorse. You will be up against alot to fight certain behaviours and compulsions with those diagnoses/characteristics.
