Deuce’s learning disability

A core part of Deuce’s character is he isn’t the brightest. In the past, he skipped school and acted as a delinquent and therefore fell behind what is easier for other kids…But why exactly was school so hard for him even before he started taking it seriously?

It’s never outwardly said, but as someone who has a learning disability and dealt with the frustrations of not being understood by my teachers or helped by previous schools, combined with some subtle details added in the game and by the voice actor, I think it’s possible that Deuce has a learning disability. 

I don’t think it’s a singular one in specific, it can be either of them, but in my personal opinion, he comes off as dyslexic to me (as someone who has dyslexia and dyscalculia)

Here are some traits I recognize from my own learning disability I’ve seen exhibited in Deuce-

Mispronouncing/misreading words 

Spelling errors

Repeats words to help him better understand/memorize it (Deuce’s VA said this is how he interprets how Deuce learns, and I love that added personal thought and interpretation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ_frMuJvu4

Being characterized as ‘dense’ and a slow learner 

Deuce reveals in Book 5 chapter 40 that he always struggled in school, that he is slow to learn, and he needed extra help that likely no one was giving him (until NRC,) so he turned to delinquency, to cover up the inadequacies he felt with being too cool to try hard. 

But what does he do when he gets to NRC? He still struggles, but when he’s offered remedial lessons from Crewel, he happily takes it, because finally there’s a teacher who is offering him the extra help and attention he needed to succeed in school.

(Remedial lessons are essentially extra help for students that need it. It isn’t always for kids with learning disabilities, but I was given remedial lessons as a kid after I got diagnosed to help me) 

Deuce struggling with feeling inadequate and dumb despite how hard he’s trying is so compelling because I’ve been there; I’ve been in his place. It makes me sad to see the other kids pick on him (namely Ace), but I know he’s going to kick ass and be everything he wants to be.

This one is for all the dyslexic/adhd/other learning disability kids who busted our asses despite what everybody said

it should be a crime to be so pretty

(spoilers for main story card)
