Title: not the Department of Redundancy Department

Name three people mentioned in the article who have intellectual disabilities.

Remember, the article is about the governor appointing a new head of the state department responsible for providing services to the mentally retarded, who are vastly different from those who have intellectual disabilities.

stay safe.

I love the comment where the reader stated that there will be no additional expense in spinning this department off into its own agency.  So, add another one to your list of those who have intellectual disabilities.

If you're not intellectual to begin with, is it still possible to have intellectual disabilities?

What in the world is an intellectual disability?  I read the article, and it did not specify.

SWMBO swears I have one.  Maybe you could ask her.

An intellectual disability is the existence of a condition for which the Department of Intellectual Disabilities was created to coordinate the provision of services for.

Sheesh!  You must have an intellectual disability yourself if you did not know that.  You poor thing!  Let me apply for a grant to service your condition.

stay safe.
