tolerance level for the disabled

[Jazz]

It really depends what disability and strand they suffer with.

I have a higher tolerance to people who suffer with mental disabilities or (major) learning disabilities. I think growing up around a lot of people with learning disorders and mental illnesses has given me a higher tolerance to them and I know that most of the time they don't understand what they're doing wrong.

I get very annoyed a people who have minor learning/mental illness and use it as an excuse to get away with everything.
Example - This boy in my college had ADHD and one day he didn't take his meds. So, he came up to my desk while I was working with my Learning Support. He stood behind me and started nudging my back constantly, which was causing my work to mess up and go everywhere and then he went onto kicking my leg which was setting off my muscle spasms/tics so I turned round and clocked him straight in the mouth. He got away with it because he had a "Serious Learning and Behavioural difficulty" and I got a formal warning [At the time I wasn't on the Behavioural list].

When some people get diagnosed with these disorders they think they can just get away with everything, and quite often they do just that. If they're pissing you off, tell them or their carer but make it sound nice and professional so they don't try and play the discrimination card

It depends on the disablilty. If they have down-syndrome or something, thats understandable at times.. but i do know some mentally disabled people who act like normal people, they just look and talk a little funny bc of their disability. but if theyre obviously not aware of there actions then just walk away . u should be able to tell if theyre just ignorant or not.
