Question

Do you think a learning disability/autism is a "reason" to excuse your lack of behavior? I'm generally curious. If you think so, why explain? If not, explain!

Answer 1

I think it is a good reason. I have a learning disability and I don't even realize that my behavior is a problem until one of my friends points it out because i'm just doing things that help me learn/focus better so yea, I think it is a pretty good reason lol.

Answer 2

I think it depends on what type of behavior you display. For example if someone has inappropriate or harmful behavior and blames it on their disability then that's not acceptable. But If you have a behavior where you struggle upon learning a certain thing or struggle to do anything then it is an excuse. But like I said it depends on what type of behavior the person might do.

Answer 3

heh
im glad i found this

Answer 4

autism go brrrr

Answer 5

I think so. I think this because everyone who has a learning disability can't control their actions.

Answer 6

I think that it should never be an excuse, but an explanation. the reason for this is that an excuse is generally made to get out of something that you don't want to do or have to deal with. I do however understand that it can be very difficult at times to confirm to the standards that other people put up. I guess what I'm saying is that its fine to say that it makes It difficult, but its not fine to say that you cannot do it because of this learning disability/autism.

Answer 7

as person who is diagnosed with autism it depends on how high you are on the spectrum.

Answer 8

this is absolutely something to take into consideration as well. some people re high functioning while others are not. it really does depend on the individual at the end of the day.

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

If they are honestly struggling then it wouldnt be an excuse, itd just be the disablility, but if they arent trying, then yes I would say they are just making excuses

Answer 11

A learning disability is not a reason to excuse said "lack of behavior". Instead, I would question if it is a direct reason/cause for lack of behavior, instead of an excuse. If it is, then try to work towards something that works best for said person with the learning disability. If not, and said person with a learning disability is taking advantage to get away with stuff, or perhaps an *excuse*, then that should not be tolerated, and is not okay.

Answer 12

I agree with most of the things being said here. Having a disability can definitely hinder people in different ways, for example, I usually talk when I do math, I find that it helps me through it, I don't usually do it on purpose though, and I have been said to stop talking while doing it on different occasions, and it really feels harder not to. I also agree that it shouldn't be the excuse, but the reason. these are just my thoughts on the subject though.

Answer 13

A disability like ADHD definitely has an exuse becuase your literally interested how many floor tiles are in the classroom, and thats ok

Answer 14

It depends on what you mean with "lack of behavior". I'm on the autism spectrum and have struggles with communicating / being formal while communication which could be considered lack of behavior. I'd say that my disability is definitely an excuse for that.
