Right now you’re disabled if your IQ is below 70 and you have trouble functioning in your everyday life. These are 2 to 3 % of the population and there’s a societal framework already in place for them.
If you could gradually raise that IQ threshold, you’d achieve much of what you want to achieve here.
I don’t know who determines that threshold, but whoever it is is probably more approachable, and more likely to listen to reason, than the public at large.
Indeed. I’d also like to point out that even though already having this framework in place, we’re pretty much clueless om what to do about it. This is despite the fact that these cases should be the most treatable!
The simple inroad would be intellectual disability.
