The 2002 AAIDD (American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) definition of intellectual disability emphasizes significant limitations in adaptive functioning. Adaptive functioning refers to how well a person meets the standards of personal independence and social responsibility expected of their age and cultural group. Speech and hearing limitations are more related to sensory impairments. Intellectual disability can originate before the age of 18 (not 30), and it doesn't necessarily have to be at birth (it can occur due to various factors like illness or injury before the age of 18).
