| Learning disability doesn't mean a person isn't capable of love and receive love, all of us can. I don't see that as a problem, just a condition. The matter of everything is acceptance, and if somebody is in love is easy to accept the other part's condition like LD. I'm sure independent from LD the person have other qualities that can be a point of focus for the others to feel attracted too. My 2 cents anyway.

| Depends on the "type" of disability. But if you mean someone with a subnormal IQ I doubt I'd find them attractive as a lover to begin with but I wouldn't see them as less of a person.
My younger brother has Downs and he's the happiest person I know

| I would if I there was chemistry and affection. My ex is legally blind and I was with him for 8 years. He had very limited eye sight, but for the most part of our relationship treated me like a queen. It never matter to me that he had limited vision. It wouldn't of mattered to me if he had a LD either. Just my two cents.

| It depends. I like someone that I can talk to and relate to and that is hard sometimes with someone who isn't very intelligent. My ex was stupid, so I've been there.

| In my home town there are a few couples that are mentally challenged/handicapped. But are happily married. One couple I know of, the wife was a normal beautiful cheerleader in high school. But after a debilitating car accident, she was physically and mentally handicapped. She ended up marrying a guy who was probably borderline retarded. He's a hard worker. Has 2 jobs that I know of. They started a family. Their kids seem normal.
As a family they seem content.
And here I sit. Educated, employed, and lonely. If you can get past the stigma of dating someone, less smart than you. Why not.
The trouble is society at large isn't as accepting of this. I know my friends would razz me something terrible for dating a disabled individual. Despite that fact that I suffer from disabling permanent injuries. Seems kind of a double standard.

| It would depend on how "learning disabled" they were. If I consistantly felt smarter or above them and felt I couldn't learn anything new from them (except how much I can't stand talking to them).
Having trouble writing cursive letters in the 3rd grade and trouble with alegbra in high school doesn't mean you are learning disabled to me. That is just part of life! There are some things you are good at and some things you struggle with. College isn't for everyone but they do have great programs for people with a learning disability (my brother is "learning disabled" and he and I will finish our bachelor's degree at the same time! And I'm 2 years OLDER!!) so it is possible. I hate how people want to give them the world because they have a learning disability! It just means they have to work extra hard for what they want in life to overcome it.
People with any sort of handicaps want to be treated like normal people. When we screw up we expect to be yelled at or disciplined like normal people, not having exceptions made to excuse our behavior. A lot of the times if they can hide their handicaps they will because people start treating you differently.

| I would definitly date a learning disabled person. When you think about it, we all have some disabilities. I dated a man who was in a wheel chair totally crippled, he was the most wonderful man i ever knew.

| In any relationship that lasts, "UNCONDITIONAL" is the KEY word to describe the relationship. Each partner accepts the other UNCONDITIONALLY, no matter what. Yes, I would date a developementally disabled person. I have found, after working in the feild for many years, that this population of people have more respect and love to share than the "normal" population of people. Hhmmmm, go figure, eh? Everyone that lives life in the "norm", would most definately learn more about respect and love if they would hang out with this population of people for a while. No, I am not married to or have ever dated someone with a developemental disablility because I have not found my perfect match just yet. But, I've know of a few gals with developemental disabilities that I would of enjoyed a nice relationship with, if it were possible for them to do so.
