I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and borderline intellectual functioning in 2002. I'm wondering if anyone else has borderline intellectual functioning.

Well 2002 was a while ago. And you managed to find your way to Lemmy, which is not the easiest process in the world. So maybe you aren't as BIF as you once were.

Regardless, you are here with us.

I think I have a very spiky profile. So I'm not globally delayed like somebody who scores borderline across the board.
