They should be treated the way they want to be treated, this isn't a one-size-fits-all situation.

Your expression, "adults with intellectual disabilities, " leaves me uncertain about whom you mean. Trumpanzees? Democrats? Personally, I don't think that these groups are distinguishable by intellectual ability. Please ask your question again including also the context in which others are called upon to treat the disabled as an adult or as a minor.

I have a neighbor who is autistic.   He is a lovely person, and I treat him the same as anyone else.
