Question:
I've known people over my years who weren't quite retarded but weren't quite "all there" per say. I am not being disrespectful to anyone.But what is the proper term for a "slow" person, who just isn't quite there, but can manage enough from day to day life, maybe hold full time jobs and everything-but if you have a conversation with them, you can tell they are slow. Someone please tell me if there is a diagnosis or proper term for this, or has anyone met anyone like this before.
Answers:

Maybe developmentally disabled?
My brother is like that. The government calls him a "mild retard" or a high-functioning disabled individual.
