[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 495234, member: 84"] It's pretty common around here. Feeling bad for them, depends on the person. I know many who work they're tails off and do well despite the fact they either don't read at all or don't read well enough to qualify as literate. Many of these folks you'd never guess can't read until you know them very very well, they're coping mechanisms are that good. Others are like M. Too lazy to learn or even attempt to learn, disability or not. Nichole's bff's husband is very intelligent. He can barely read, flat out refuses to go learn even though here it's offered for free to adults. M is not intelligent by any stretch of the imagination, if I said he was stupid I'd be kind, but he's too lazy to try to learn too. These types would rather mooch off society and whine or make excuses. They drive me insane. Some may or may not be difficult children.....but still the desire has to be there to learn, and it's just not there. [/QUOTE]
