In fact, learning disabilities have nothing to do with IQ; you seem to be using the phrase "learning disability" as a euphemsim for someone with a below-70 IQ. <br /><br />The phrase you are searching for is "cognitive disability." Someone with an IQ of below 70 can be said to have a cognitive disability.<br /><br />I would suggest doing some research on learning disabilities to better educate yourself on this topic. <br /><br />You could start here: http://www.ldonline.org/ldbasics/whatisldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-83097027129835770902009-05-01T12:06:00.000+01:002009-05-01T12:06:00.000+01:00I got that Susan might be older, from a small town...I got that Susan might be older, from a small town, and a little less affluent than her audience, but I never got disabled. When she came out as having a small learning deficit as a child, I got that it was the reason for her level of sheltering along with the reasons above, an old idea from older parents. It meant to me that those less willing to see the person might just see "out of it" and not think much about how she got there and what she might know that they don't. I saw more about social class and affluence than disability. You can make it all about disability if you want it to, but the packaging tells a story. For me it said, small town, older parents, not much money.Zotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-66837382441666685412009-04-19T02:23:00.000+01:002009-04-19T02:23:00.000+01:00Lisy, I think you hit the nail on the spot!

You have the same st...'Appears learning disabled!'<br /><br />You have the same stereotypical response as the able bodied you appear to be castigating.<br /><br />And what seems to be a sour grapes attitude as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
