How are you defining intelligence? If you're going by school performance/ standardize testing, I beg you to reconsider. Flexibility and coming up with workarounds is a sign of intelligence.

Take dyslexia... it has nothing to do with overall intelligence, but it does severely impact on academic abilities.
