Dating people with learning disorders

What do you think about dating people with learning disorders? For me it's kind of a necessity since regular women don't go for me having problems myself.

It would totally depend on the person. If I really connected with someone, why would I let their learning disorder stop me? The only way that this wouldn't apply is if they had something like scitzophrenia or bipolar disorder, as those don't generally lead to a healthy, stable relationship.

Now I know this will sound bad, but for some reason I can't help myself. Whenever I see someone mentally or physically disabled, I feel such pity for them. Like I literally feel horrible and so sad for them that I don't think I could ever date someone not like that. Not because I would be embarrassed being with them or anything, but because I would just feel terrible 24/7.

I can't explain it, I just think they will never have a good life. But if there's any consilation (sp?) in all this, they are probably happier then most people are, including me...

It depends on the disorder AND how they manage it.

For example, I have an Anxiety disorder, which at times can be real bad. Although I'm fully mentally aware of what it is/how it works, I take medication and I generally try to manage it to the best of my ability. I live an otherwise "normal" life, am married, have a house, work full time and have a 6 year daughter.

Some others, I feel at least, either don't fully understand their issues and just let it consume their lives, with that being the only thing that truly defines who they are.

I don't normally go about announcing my issues, because it's my problem, and shouldn't be anybody elses. If I need some time to myself, I may quietly tell somebody relevent to the situation, and take the time needed to get everything back under control, but it doesn't mean I can't see people/hang out/go out with my wife.

As long as people aren't solely defined by their issues, then I don't see why dating anybody with any sort of mental/physical/learning issue would be a problem.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

I have PTSD and a litany of other mental health issues but I don't know if they could be called learning disorders. ADD is one that I have. I also suffered severe head trauma and damaged my occipital lobe, so, my ability to solve puzzles and my short term memory is just awful. I frequently repeat myself as a result and have grown very introverted whereas I used to be constantly surrounded by people.

The only girl with a learning disability at my job is constantly ignored and basically treated like crap. She's also the only person there that acknowledges my existence. I gave her a Christmas card and tried to be really nice to her in it. I don't believe she took it as anything but platonic, but, I imagine it would be quite difficult to date someone like me, even if the other person had a learning disorder. I wouldn't want to put that burden on them - or me - and so I actively avoid any sort of sexual activity.

It really depends on how much it affects their personality and ability to have a stable relationship. I wouldn't rule out somebody immediately because they have learning or mental difficulties, but if it affected them in a way that I personally couldn't put up with then I wouldn't entertain the idea. Relationships are about compatibility and learning/mental difficulties, as unfair as it is, do affect your personality, and therefore how compatible you are with somebody. I also say this fully aware that somebody may feel the same about me and my mental health issues, considering unstable relationships are a big part of my own problems.

All my clients have severe learning disorders and they have ups and downs just like everyone else. However, they dont have to worry about s*** like bills, relationships, s***ty colleagues, etc., so in a way they're happier cuz ignorance is bliss.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I don't think I could manage. I barely have patience for my own difficulties and have little to no empathy for others that are similar, like my sister. Just makes me angry.

Even though I realize that's stupid.


Need someone more functional than me to help me through basic s*** :rofl:

Flashy Thing!

I don't know if I could do it. Women without learning disorders already stress me out. Not to be insensitive but I would fee like I had a child rather than a partner.

I may not deserve to live, but I will protect those in my reach with my reverse blade!

I know you're asking about dating but it would be hard for me to love someone that I could easily take advantage of. My wife is very intelligent and keeps me on my toes and trying in our marriage. I think that is very important.
