Lots of people have learning disabilities. Its estimated that a third of the world's population in developed countries with a structured schooling system are learning disabled.

By the way, Albert Einstein had several learning disabilities. Leonardo DaVinci and Stephen Hawking both had dyslexic learning disabilities.

People with learning disabilities aren't stupid or a waste of space. They are the people who aren't restricted by conventional learning who shape and define what's known in the universe.

I hope you aren’t saying that people with learning disabilities are a waste of space. What makes you say such a thing? Did someone call you waste of space?

Hey I think you misinterpreted the statistics. Out of all children with disabilities about THIRD of them have learning disability, the other two thirds have other disabilities: cognitive, physical, emotional etc. That's in the US and it’s roughly similar to other developed countries.

Most certainly third of the total population doesn’t have a learning disability. I think when you saw “third”, you didn’t notice that’s the “third” of population with disabilities, not “third” of the total population

Sorry to hear that. Who treats you badly? Try to distance yourself from those kinds of people

Nooo..... you simply have a challenge, and that is all it is. Challenges do not mean that we are a waste of space. I find you to be very endearing, sweet, supportive and loving!

I'm taking a class at uni called genetic algorithms. If it helps at all, it is scientifically proven that we literally need a wide spread gene pool if we hope to evolve at all. From a genetic perspective, there is nothing dysfunctional about you or anyone else. In fact, we all require each other, no matter who we are.

And you have a good heart. That means it is impossible for you to be waste of space.

Oh, it's not important. They are a class of algorithms / proceedures you could call them. They are inspired by evolution.
