Case Study:
Adaptive behavior and intelligence are two separate topics. A person may have average intelligence, which is defined as the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations, but not adaptive behavior. In this case it appears that he was unable to deal with a trying situation. It might be that he is deficient in one of the three adaptive behavior areas. In this instance, it might be possible that the young man was deficient in social skills.
