Back in the day, Moron, Imbecile and Idiot had specific IQ ranges
to
be
classified as such...

I sort of knew that, but I wonder what they do now.

Intellectually disabled mostly
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_disability

I've not heard that term. The usual euphemism is "learning
difficulties"
That's more for kids rather than adults.
which tends to refer to people who are unkindly and humorously referred
to
as "the hard of thinking"
That's more of an insult.

I know a number of people who work in that segment of the health care
field.

The correct term is "adults with disabilities".
There is no such animal as the correct term and disabled is just as valid.

What does ADA stand for?



Americans with Disabilities Act. I have a quadriplegic friend who
thinks parts of that are well intentioned disasters.

Being disabled I agree with that. I once contacted the ACLU to see what they
would do, if anything, about a problem. If anything applied, replied we don't
get involved... WTF I thought that is what they were there for? Another bunch
of maroons.
