|content=It’s too big a thought for a kid. Too crazy even for most adults. But ask this: why is a geometry problem color coded when color blindness is relatively common? Why is reading music so important to most teachers when many musicians can’t read? It’s in the economics of teaching.

|content=I’ve been told I’m, dyslexic, dysgraphic, color blind, processing impaired w low executive functioning, ADD &amp; I suffer from kinesthetic reinforcement deficits.

Which is all BS. I wasn’t meant for educators, as those are actually their issues with me (i.e. [[Teaching Disabilities|teaching disabilities]]).

|content=What were your learning disabilities as a kid, @EricRWeinstein? Their existence was mentioned in passing in at least two podcasts, but google yields no further explanation. Someone enlighten me.

|content=People think I’m kidding about [[Teaching Disabilities|teaching disabilities]]. I’m not. 

For example, people with typical  color vision have no idea how many tasks are gratuitously &amp; unnecessarily dependent on color coding. If you‘re color blind, ‘educators’ get furious with you for wasting class time!

|content=You come to hate yourself because as a kid picked on by almost every teacher for wasting class time, you don’t have the courage to say “Wait a minute. What if I’m totally fine the way I am and it’s an entire ‘educator’ cult, bigoted &amp; biased toward their beloved neurotypicals?”
