learning disability

A learning disability is a neurologically based processing problem, such as a disorder in auditory processing, visual processing, or non-verbal processing. Learning disabilities are diagnosed when there is a gap between potential and actual achievement, and therefor people with learning disabilities have average to above-average intelligence. Learning disabilities are lifelong conditions, but with appropriate specialized education students can achieve at the same level as their same-age peers.

intellectual disability

Is a term used by medical professionals today to diagnose people who have cognitive impairments ranging from mild intellectual disability to severe intellectual disability. scientist claim that the most likely cause of intellectual disability is either an infection during pregnancy, and or and environmental trigger such as mercury and or a traumatic brain injury, or TBI
"My God, why are you in special ed?"

"I have a form of an intellectual disability, that require special accommodations for me to learn at the same rate as everyone else.the doctor said that my IQ is not really affected by much but I have a significant learning disability that is linked to my autism. you do know what autism is right?

"yeah, my older brother has autism in a matter of fact my mom says he has Aspergers Syndrome, is that what you have as well?"

Well, yeah I have aspergers as well as ADHD OCD and because I was being bullied so much and called "retard" all the time I also suffer from depression and anger problems now. I'm actually being sent to the principal's office right now for getting the fight last week. some kid called me the R word and when I asked him to apologize he punched me in the face. I retaliated by throw my backpack in his face and calling him some very bad words as well which I do deserve to be going out to the principal's office for and I really don't want to repeat what I said to that kid you should have seen how I was yelling at him and cursing him out!

"Damn, you must have been pissed! You're lucky you want me I would have made sure he got a bloody nose not just a backpack thrown at him and being cursed out, you don't deserve to be going to the principal's office you should be held as a hero for standing up for yourself!I will be your advocate to make sure you don't get suspended or expelled or even get any detention.

Earning disability

Politically correct term for poor. Those who make less than average to nothing may possess some type of earning disability. Those who make the most money seem to have no disability at all, but are frequently guilty of ableism. The most effective treatment is the unemployment pill, which may be prescribed by the government or by your primary care physician.
"Sucks to see all these jobless folks just wandering the streets. It's sad."

"Don't call them jobless, man. They have an earning disability."

"My buddy hasn't worked in 5 years. I really wish he'd get his ass in gear."

"You mean Mike? Dude, take it easy on him. He has an earning disability."

"My husband only makes 13 bucks an hour at his job. Because of him we're basically working poor."

"You're married to a guy with an earning disability?"

Disability workshop

A cheap alternative to a Barnum and Bailey sideshow where sane and self-taught people with aspergers and/or autism are the odd ones out and get ostracized daily by parental figures (whom pretend to give a shit but instead do their job for a quick buck) in favor of batshit insane individuals whom have little to no chance to get a job without making the employer commit suicide by their obnoxious 'disabled' attributes
Parents: Sorry son, We do love you but our soon to be abolished health care plan requires us to ship you to a Disability workshop

Disability Scooter

Often seen in large chain stores like Target and Walmart, these are used to help the physically handicapped buy goods they need. Then, one day, fat Nora decided she would ride it to avoid any unneeded walking through the day. Now a real handicapped person is unable to buy their groceries, and the poor scooter is slowly being crushed to death.
