About co-morbidites of neurodevelopmental disorders

To qualify as specific learning disorder your impairment would have to be in one fairly narrow area, eg dyslexia. If your impairment was sevear and across a wide range of cognitive skills it probably would be ID not SpLD.

I don’t know how you define adaptive functioning. I’m assuming it’s similar to executive functioning? But as an autistic person with, what I was told was, sevear dyslexia, I think very few would mistake me for someone with ID.

I failed most academics throughout school years, had communication delays and have trouble with adaptive-functioning, e.g mostly problems with being independent mostly.
