Dealing with Misconceptions and Discrimination Surrounding Learning Disabilities

Published: Oct. 23, 2020, 7:23 p.m.

In this episode Jada shares her experience of being discriminated against by a professor, how she handled it and how it effected her. We also discuss what it is like to share our diagnosis with friends and peers, how they react and how that makes us feel. It can be hard to share something so personal about yourself when you are afraid it might not be responded to with kindness, we hope that sharing this makes someone with a similar experience feel less alone and we hope that people without learning disabilities can come to understand how their reaction might effect someone.
