YES! I agree with you and my first response was about how I had to learn about my child’s special needs so I could help her learn how SHE learns. I actually advocated for her right up into college so she would be helped instead of disrespected. That was thirty years ago that I had to advocate and Yale did not put out the documentary until my daughter was finishing her last year of college.

I agree with you in that individuals can have valid reasons for struggling and deserve to have their challenges be validated.
