Is Learning Disability a mental disability?

Parents: are/should you be 'easier' and softer on a teen with learning disability or mental disorder?

  • Do you think you should be easier/make excuses on an adolescent with a learning disability or mental health issues? Or do you have teens with these issues? A good friend of mine has a Nonverbal learning disability(similar to aspergers) and I feel like his mom is too impatient and uses too much 'tough' love. I also have A.D.D so i admit i am biast as I know how hard it is to cope with a chemical imbalance and I think excuses/exceptions should be made.

  • Answer:

    i went to school with a kid who had a disability. when the teacher tried to help him with something he told her to stop treating him like a glass bowl and teach him. i think they want to be treated like any other kid. so no excuses. but he wasn't too severe so i guess it just depends on the person.

Of course they should be made, in some cases, and in some, no. BAD "EXCUSE" A good friend of mine has ADHD and uses it in every way to get what she wants. When we were on a class field trip years ago, we had two choices for lunch [other than bringing your own]- Pizza, or Salad. She whined and complained so much using her ADHD as an excuse, that the teacher ended up buying her ice cream because it was "all she could eat." I knew this was a crock. GOOD REASON Someone who has dyslexia or something of the sort and may need extra time to complete a test, as this is necessary, and they have the same right as everyone else.
