Mental retardation is a relative term. Its meaning depends on what society demands of the individual in learning, skills, and social responsibility. Many people who are considered developmentally challenged in the complex modern world would get along normally in a simpler society.
Only a very few people with mental retardation have IQs of 0 to 24 and are considered severely mentally retarded. Their condition is usually diagnosed at birth, and they may have other medical problems and need nursing care.
