There are people with Down syndrome who have a normal IQ. It’s not as common, but there are. People with Down syndrome can have an IQ ranging from normal down to profound disabilities (under 20 IQ points). The majority of people with Down syndrome fall in the mild and moderate range of mental retardation (IQ 35-70). IQ, however, has very little to do with how well a person functions in life. If a person has good adaptive skills he/she could have a lower IQ and function very well.

It varies with each child just as it does with every other human being. You can’t determine that just because a person has Downs that when they are adults they will have a certain IQ. Silly.
