The way I see it, there are are two ways a serious learning disorder can take. One is to be of below intelligence and the other is to be of supremely high intelligence. If one is extremely smart, they become somewhat disabled and they are not capable of receiving any information about how to take care of themselves. The same is of lower intelligence except that they cannot comprehend what is being taught to them. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that because it is the learning itself which is the problem, not their intelligence. People with learning disorders can also be geniuses.
