A learning disability is a reduced intellectual ability and difficulty with everyday activities e.g. household tasks, socialising or managing money, which will affect someone for their whole life. People with a learning disability tend to take longer to learn and may need support to develop new skills, understand complicated information and interact with other people.
Learning disability is often confused with dyslexia and mental health problems. Mencap* describes dyslexia as a “learning difficulty” because, unlike learning disability, it does not affect intellect.

Get the Disabled Football clan mug.
Super nice and slightly emo girl obsessed with music and book/TV fandoms. That sounds kind of weird, but trust me, if you become best friends with her, she'll be the most caring, considerate and kind girl you can relate to and who will always be there during your hard times.
