Answer to Question 1

More boys than girls have a diagnosis of intellectual disability, but these sex differences are primarily among those with the mild type and may result from differences in children's verbal abilities. At younger ages, girls have superior verbal language skills, and this may affect their test performance. No sex differences are found among those with the more severe forms of intellectual disability.
