A classical criterion for diagnosing ID is an IQ  below 70 associated with severe adaptive problems and onset in developmental  age, while for SLD it is a discrepancy between a high FSIQ (or an average  intelligence) and poor academic performance (American  Psychiatric Association, 2000). In Italy, for example, a diagnosis of ID  currently requires a FSIQ below 70, whereas a diagnosis of SLD is typically  used for cases with a FSIQ above 85 associated with a clear discrepancy between  this high FSIQ and a low achievement at school (Istituto  superiore di sanita`, 2011). This approach has recently been questioned  for a number of reasons.
