Answer 1

Since Mel is able to care for his basic needs independently, it would be considered that he has a mild intellectual disability.  A person with a mild intellectual disability has an IQ score between 55-69.  Even though he is able to care for his basic needs, he still needs some help with daily living skills and someone to make sure his needs are being met.
