Learning Disabled - Tumblr Posts

I see people making posts about "the gifted child mindset", but have you considered the opposite "the disabled child mindset".

I have had a severe learning disability my entire life and so I never tried in school because no matter what I did I would fail because I didn't have the proper accommodations. But now that I do have the accommodations I still don't try it all because of years and years of of not being able to do anything.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Teachers:"Math is super easy, you're just not trying hard enough"

Mom:"You're stubborn"

Relatives:"Maybe you just stupid 🤷"

Me:"You're gonna end up homeless you dumbass and you'll always be useless "

Van Helsing's letter both entertains and frustrates me. My LD is such that when I don't understand something I read my eyes just skip over it until I get back to a part that makes sense. In VH's case I enjoyed the way it was written to convey a Germanic flavor of ESL. But then several turns of phrase threw me off. Am I understanding correctly that Jack sucked gangrene out of VH's wound...with a knife? I'm having trouble picturing that. And the wound was caused by... someone. A colleague of VH's? A peer of Jack's? When his knife slipped? Why are these people brandishing knives at each other? And how did gangrene instantly set in and then get sucked out? That's not how gangrene works, is it?
