But yeah I’ve also known of a lot of people who had an intellectual disability diagnosis lifelong who attended college or university. But it’s made very difficult — including by IQ cutoffs that tell them they shouldn’t be there in the first place.

…and then I’ve known a lot of people with higher IQs who could not handle university at all.

I had that one pretty well smashed by the time Think College was read through by me.

It’s particularly interesting to me, because just this week I was involved in a debate about prejudice and racism that included some discussion regarding mental disorders (specifically, autism and bipolar disorder were mentioned) and STDs. The discussion itself revolved around who people would/would not date, and why, and took place on the BBS I’ve been a member of since 1994, but I always take notice of how closely the “unrelated” parts of my life mirror each other. I’ve found that God (or “the Universe”, depending on the religion you happen to espuse) tends to create these situations for me when I need to learn or pay attention to something about myself.
