Adults with the childhood phenotype of DM1 demonstrate relative dependence in regard to the following IADLs: money management and home management & transportation. Level of dependence is, at least partially, associated with cognitive impairments. The work relates to results from an exploratory study; thus, studies must be pursued to describe in more details difficulties experienced by this population
