Can people with Down syndrome have a high IQ?

Best Answers

Also there is data that shows down syndrome test takers can have a higher IQ than some people who don’t have brain damage. I believe the highest score of someone with down syndrome is 80 and the lowest score of an average functioning logical mind at 70. read more

The truth is, children with Down syndrome can have normal IQ. All kids with Down syndrome are unique and we can not make sweeping generalizations (as all children are unique). While many children with Down syndrome will fall in the “below normal” range of IQ, most of these kids just barely miss the cut-off point. read more
