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.

Note how they use the word "with".

Doesnt make that term the only correct term.

How there be more than one correct term if there is no such thing
as the correct term?

You sure do contradict yourself quite often.
