Compare the definition of intellectual disability (ID) with that of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

What will be an ideal response?


The answer should indicate in the definition that students with intellectual disability have three defining characteristics: deficits in intellectual functioning, deficits in adaptive behavior, and the needs for support. ASD is characterized by deficits in social interactions, communication skills, fixated interests, and repetitive behaviors. Both categories can range from mild to severe. ASD appears before age three. ID appears during the developmental period or before age 18.
