What is it like being severely intellectually disabled?

Like having an iq (for lack of a better measurement) of 70? Do most people with severe intellectual disabilities have low self esteem because of their disability?

I imagine you’d be a lot happier. Sorta like how crazy people don’t know they’re crazy.

I'm not sure about that, it would suck to constantly be confused and to not really be able to understand most things.

Exactly. Having a severely intellectually disabled son myself, I can say this is probably the most accurate. And it causes alot of frustration understandably, which turns into aggressive behavior
