I wanted to examine how the lives of people with social cognitive learning deficits are different from the lives of neurotypical people. Because the social cognitive learning disability is the most abstract of all learning disabilities (cite) it is extremely unpredictable about its manifestations in actual reality. And its effects vary vastly from student to student. Because it is so abstract it is easy to listen to many generalizations but very few concrete details. Thus it makes it tricky and essential to imagine someone with a social cognitive deficit as an individual rather then a stereotype “you know one person with NLD you know one person with NLD”(cite) I will attempt to define myself and my friends with SCD’s as people rather then case studies by telling our stories.
