Does anyone have any learning disabled friends?

Does anyone have any learning disabled, or friends with stuff like ADHD or ADD? 'Cause more then half my friends are ADD or ADHD, and several of them have dyslexia. Very few of my friends don't have something of that sort. IDK why so many of my friends have those sorta problems, I guess I attract them with my craziness. Most of them are pretty wild and weird, like me btw.

Almost all of them have some sort of neurological "abnormality." Most commonly, it AD(H)D. Also, I have friends with OCD, Bi-Polar, Anorexia, PTSD, Cerebral Palsey (sp?), occular albinism and AS. If I were to include past issues with extreme substance abuse, I would have all of my bases covered.

One of my closer friends is bipolar. I have one friend with Autism though.=/ Most of my friends know about my aspergers though.

I have a friend with some sort of learning thing, I don't know the details. He goes to sped classes but he really wants a challenge.

I have a lot of NT friends, most of them are NT, but they sure are crazy hahaha. One girl says she is ADD. As nutty as she is, I don't know how that's possible hahahaha

Loads of my friends have learning disabilities that make them learn a tad bit slower than everyone else in school. Many have ADD, some are severely bipolar, and there's other things. But I love them all.

Except for dyslexia none of them are classified as pure learning disability^. I have dx learning disability so I know what I'm talking about.

I have had friends with Aspie traits, mental illness and dyslexia. I think people with similar problems tend to become friends. At my school there are quite a lot of kids with hearing impairments, and they tend to make friends with other hearing-impaired kids.
I suppose you also get to know people you see in the Special Needs classroom so you're more likely to become friend with them.

I have a few aspie friends but no-one else with some other disorder, well not that I know of, I mean I have hung out with some nutcases in the past

One of my friends in scouting is ADD and most of them have some aspie traits.

She's not learning disabled, but my best friend has schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. And two of my friends have AS.
I only talk to one of them anymore, though.

People with learning disabilities are not intellectually disabled. Some can have very high IQ's.

I agree I have many intellectually learning, neurological differences... certainly does not slow me down, as also hyper, yes I have some weaknesses, but also like everyone strengths.... in fact my brain is often like a computer on full power, I do overload from time to time and my extremities can make life a little more complex at times, or as I see it just makes me more interesting as Donna Williams put it, I am like a "fruit salad mix"
