Thats why I feel IQ assessments are bollox but this IQ test has had a bad effect on my life and independence. Also getting benefits is really good to obtain I need more control in my life.

I can’t remember the actress, she said; you are enough exactly as you are. This is true.

Would a person with an IQ of 69 with the supposed difficulties the psychologist wrote about I have be able to travel to Sri Lanka for 26 days not only once but 3 times and face no problems or issues, interacting pleasantly with other backpackers and managing the flights? Thats why I think they are out to get me because I think I’m an experiment, I know this sounds paranoid but I can’t explain why they scored me IQ as 69?

idk what you are saying, i think what is written more than qualifies you for what you get and why cant you spend it on something nice like a holiday? i heard the only problem they’d have is if you left for a prolonged period, all the stuff in the news is just to scare people, its not nice.
Would you be able to do it without your aide?

I’ve been to Sri Lanka on my own 3 times.
I’ve booked an apartment with pool in Sri Lanka for November. Again on my own.

I truly believe your IQ is higher than 69 based on your communication skills, grasp of language and your ability to travel.
That said, I’m not an expert so my opinion doesn’t really count

That’s pretty cool 
I do too don’t think I have an IQ of 69… The UK health service don’t like to make mistakes or seen as bad (So I can’t sue them) but this diagnosis is really affecting me in a lot of ways… I 100% think I’m a social experiment. Like the Truman show.

Well thank you Sir!
The fact that they’re wrong doesn’t mean they’re out to get you. Those are 2 totally different things.
Don’t get me wrong, I completely relate to feeling like the government is watching me too, But you could have just not had good professionals testing you and they could simply have been wrong about you.
It’s irony at it’s worst: You think they’re wrong about your IQ and your diagnosis so you’re paranoid that they are “out to get you”
and that you are in a “Truman Show”. Do you see the irony?
I’m not criticizing you but your inability to see you’ve had a psychotic illness in the past and probably have one in the present is astounding extremism.

Many schizophrenics can do one or two things well, even difficult things. We are still ill. I can work for many years and graduated college in my illness but there’s many things I can’t do. I probably couldn’t travel to foreign countries very well but I’m going out of state this September. I still have symptoms and believe my diagnosis.
Your report seems to match the posts you’ve written on here. You can communicate well and plan well and with help you could manage your money but you’ve made bad decisions and have a drinking problem.
Again, not judging but your past treatment of the staff was juvenile.
If I were you I wouldn’t worry about your diagnosis or your IQ score and instead enjoy your money and your trips.

There’s no way you are 69 writing full paragraphs with full coherence.
Don’t buy into it; many aspects of intelligence exist; and sometimes people can fail the academic stuff whilst still being skilled in other areas.
I think with this intellectual disability diagnosis it’s impacting on my self-esteem and self-critical thinking that I’m some kinda less of a person. I don’t have much self worth. There are many positives to having these diagnosis, I get amazing support from services and I don’t have to worry about money but I’m too self-critical and somethings obsess about people people being out to get me. Its a constant battal managing my emotions and thinking, is that makes sense?
Do you think I have a low IQ and I’m in denial?
