Martin is now 17 years of age and his IQ scores have been steadily declining for the past several years and he has been losing important skills. His most recent IQ score is 55. As you think about whether to diagnose Martin with mental retardation, you remind yourself that this is an unusual case because
A) mental retardation does not usually involve loss of skills or notable change in condition.
B) his IQ score is now below the cutoff of 70, warranting a diagnosis of late onset mental retardation.
C) he has not yet turned 18 so it is too soon to make a diagnosis.
D) IQ scores with people with mental retardation are unreliable and should not be used to confirm a diagnosis.
