Just a question. Are all people with childhood desintegrative disorder mentally ret*d?

I don´t see mental retardation mentioned anywhere.
I can see possible loss of speech, loss of bladdercontrol + social- and motor control.
There is a likeness to autism, but intelligence is not mentioned.

Yes, people with CDD have mental retardation that can go from moderate to severe.
My brother was diagnosed with LFA and mental retardation, so it's possible.
