Stigma Surrounding Learning Disability That We Need To Confront

Do you have learning disabilities? Do you find it hard to talk to people because you have these disabilities?

Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia are learning disabilities. Most people in society today are ignorant and arrogant, they are inconsiderable and do not understand people who have these types of learning disabilities. These learning disabilities have behavioral disorders attached to each syndrome.

Dyslexia is the most common of all the learning disabilities of the three types. The syndrome problems are reading, writing and spelling, it limits a person using their mental faculties to learn, it does not impair their intelligence. This means a Dyslexic person sees the letters with words mixed up or reversed, it does not affect their eye sight.

The confusion Dysgraphia and Dyslexia has, Dysgraphia is the inability to write. Individuals suffering from this syndrome may have contracted brain disease or damage to, the disability leaves the person having difficulties spacing words when writing, producing poor spelling with unfinished and missing letters from words. People with this condition get sore left or right hands from a cramped grip depending on the person writing with.

This learning disability relates to understanding numbers to using symbols accurate to function in the world of mathematics. Dyscalculia is a brain disorder; people that suffer with this syndrome have the difficulty of counting backwards, remembering basic facts and the inability to solve basic mathematics solutions.

This discussion is about Utility Suppliers and their bombastic, quarrelsome, ignorant attitude towards individuals with disabilities. Disabled people facing problems with household bills where they need to communicate with people with Utility Suppliers, gets frustrating. The Customer Care Dept should change their rules and protocols for their Customer Care Dept can address people with disabilities and learning disabilities in a proper humane manner to help with their needs. People with learning disabilities or another form of a disability have nowhere to turn to get help they need.

People with disabilities are at a disadvantage; please note, when someone does tell you they are inadequate to read and write or have another form of learning disability, or some other disability; Customer Care Dept should administer a caring, understanding attitude to help these disadvantaged people feel at ease when talking to them to help solve their problems they have within their home about either gas or electric or any other utility they may have.

A person with dyslexia or other learning disability could be suffering from behaviour problems causing depression making them feel isolated and inadequate of being a human being, when treated so badly by other people who do not care how they treat other people, be they Dyslexia, Down syndrome, or any other disability come to that.

The video below, made by a social experiment team, shows how bodily aided people treats a person with a disability walking on the street. Most of these people are passers-by, will have jobs maybe, working for a Utility Organization or for another Organization such as a Retail Outlet's that have Customer Care Service Dept's. In today's Society; it is generally people's attitudes and ignorance, why some Customer Care Service Dept's treat people suffering from Dyslexia, Autism and any other type of disability that puts these people at a disadvantage for bad treatment. In this video you can see the actor who pretended he is homeless, passers-by just completely ignoring him; the well-dressed actor gave the help he needed.

The author is sure the rich and famous suffering learning disabilities or any other type of disability get the red-carpet treatment from Utility organizations; is this because of, they have the money for their utility bills. Everyone expects caring treatment and treated as equals. Yet, an ordinary person with these types of disabilities the utility organizations still uses bad manners. It's like one rule for the rich and famous and another rule for the ordinary person with these disabilities.
