BENJAMIN: AN ANCIENT HISTORY OF RESPECT AND INCLUSION OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
In Sierra De Atapuerca, near Burgos (North-Central Spain), a skull of a youth affected with synostosis lambdoidea and a severe intellectual disability was found. The findings show that he was helped to live as any other member of the group.

INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY: EPIDEMIOLOGY
The prevalence (number of cases of a disease based on the population at the time) of Intellectual Disability (ID), formerly known as Mental Retardation, is estimated between 1 and 2.5% and the incidence (number of new cases per year) is estimated to be around 1.8%.
Recent data indicates a reduction in the prevalence of ID only in western populations, while the opposite trend is evident among people with low to middle range incomes.
