Even then, what you learn will only help you manage your disability, not cure it. Most important, know your strengths and weaknesses and be prepared to be your own advocate to get the help you need. Confirming that you have a learning disability, acknowledging your deficits and supporting your strengths can give you a sense of relief. More than that, they can give you a direction for working to develop skills to help you cope. Maybe you've devised learning strategies through the years that have helped you master new tasks.
Some people develop ingenious ways of coping.
Some become quite successful in their careers despite their disability. Others need help to succeed. Once you have documentation of your disability, you can find help, such as literacy tutoring or organizational or social skills training. And you may be entitled to modifications or accommodations on the job or in educational programs that can help you succeed. All Rights Reserved.
