Not Learning Disabilities

Differential diagnosis


Thousands of American educators suffer in isolation, shamed into blaming creative kids because of a silent epidemic: teaching disabilities.

I’ve been told I’m, dyslexic, dysgraphic, color blind, processing impaired w low executive functioning, ADD & 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).

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.

People think I’m kidding about teaching disabilities. I’m not.

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

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 ā€œWait a minute. What if I’m totally fine the way I am and it’s an entire ā€˜educator’ cult, bigoted & biased toward their beloved neurotypicals?ā€

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.
