I have a learning disability and it has affected several of my jobs. I have had to work twice as hard as others to get half as much done, and many people have gotten frustrated with me. I've had supervisors think I was just goofing off, and therefore would put more work on me to "teach me a lesson." I've been bullied at several of my jobs over it, I've had friends and family members accuse me of "playing dumb,'' and had a lot of people get irritated with me because I needed help doing things that most people don't need help with.
Any other stories or experiences any one would like to share?
