These disabilities manifest themselves in many different ways and from many different causes. It varies not only according to periods but also according to cultures. The challenges are mainly due to the daily difficulties of living with a certain diagnosed disability and these challenges are intensified by social stigma and cruelty. Ignorance about this gives way to negative social perceptions that affect both people with disabilities and their families. Initially, intellectual disabilities were known by many names, but now many cases have been generalized and research continues in the same field. The social prejudices of certain periods were responsible for the nomenclature of many illustrious disabilities. Because of the illogical social construct, these people's humanity was assumed to be overshadowed by their illness. They are often called "mentally retarded" which objectifies them as things and not as people, which is an insult to their personality. Regardless of the person's medical condition, it is degrading to be called such names and has haunted many generations of families to treat their disabled family member as it would bring with it a social stigma that would ruin their prestige in this so-called informed and rational world..
