Even though more than 2.3 percent of the population has IQs below 70, only about 1 percent of people are diagnosed as having intellectual disability at any one point in time. Explain this discrepancy

Many young children with intellectual disability are not identified as such because it is difficult to obtain a reliable IQ score from people this age. Also, many adults who have IQs under 70 function adaptively, and therefore, they are not considered as having an intellectual disability.
