Thank you, this is illuminating, and just a little scary, as we seem to be surrounded by sub-90 IQ folks. They breed a lot, they vote sometimes, they eat and take up space. I'm not a eugenicist by any means, and believe all humans are guests of God on this earth, and I should treat the as such. But then again, I go to great lengths to avoid them when I can.
I have a brother-in-law who is low IQ. He is Hispanic, which is relevant in that the term "what happened?" is a common question in general conversation Spanish translation, "que pasa" An example of a conversation with him is as follows:
"Hey man. I heard you got a job."
"Uh? Job? Oh. Uh? I got a job?"
" That's what I heard, yes."
"Wha happen? Job? I got a job? Oh. Oh yeah. I got a job, uh huh."
** end of conversation **
Now it makes so much more sense. You can almost hear the gears grinding as his mind tries to process what is happening. He has had my wife handle basic paperwork that is too complex for him to process -- like job applications, which was always maddening to me.
Incidentally, the resultant jobs have included bed pan specialist, and currently "security guard." (shudder) I can't imagine my BIL standing up to ANY form of resistance or threat . . . So beware - 'they' are everywhere!

The security guard for my company at one point was a 90 pound introverted 20 year old girl who was afraid to look at anyone.
