Q: Each of these disabilities affects an individual in different ways and can produce different types of symptoms. LDs can affect the way the brain processes audio, visual, or speech-related information or stimuli.  LDs are the result of neurological-based problems that affect the way that the brain receives, processes, stores, and responds to information: the brain's cognitive functioning. LDs are not curable, they are lifelong. But, they can be managed with the proper help. One in every five Americans is diagnosed with a LD.  Unfortunately, because each LD affects the cognitive area of the brain, symptoms tend to over-lap, making it quite difficult for even the trained professional to identify. For example, poor-handwriting skills can be the result of difficulties processing symbols (dyslexia); or from poor spatial organization skills (dysgraphia). The most common LDs are:  Dyslexia is a reading disability that affects how one interprets sounds, letters and words. It can affect general vocabulary skills as well as one's reading speed and efficiency. Symptoms of dyslexia include late speech, difficulty with handwriting, and difficulty rhyming words. Dyscalculia affects an individual's ability to process numbers, and can manifest itself as a problem with memorization skills, as well as a difficulty sequencing patterns or numbers.  Symptoms of dyscalculia include difficulty counting and memorizing arithmetic concepts. Dysgraphia is a LD of writing, and can be the result of either a physical motor in-efficiency, or a mental difficulty in understanding and processing certain forms of information. Individuals with dysgraphia tend to demonstrate poor handwriting skills, illegible and/or irregular writing, and have difficulties communicating through the written form. Although each LD affects the brain in a different way, there are, however, general symptoms that can help indicate whether-or-not an individual has a disability of either the audio, visual, or speech type. These symptoms include:  Trouble spelling. Avoidance of reading and writing. Difficulty summarizing. Trouble with open-ended questions. Poor memory. Difficulty with abstract concepts. Trouble expressing ideas. Mispronunciation. Easily distracted. Mix up right/left or poor sense of direction. Trouble following directions or completing tasks. Take well-detailed notes if necessary, and look for the most obvious symptoms of a LD--poor memorization, bad social skills, frustration with reading and/or writing.  Do you or your child perform daily tasks in a different way each time? This can be an indicator of a LD. Do this over an extended period of time. These symptoms may not necessarily be the result of a LD, but may be caused by other conditions affecting you or your child. In many cases, individuals demonstrate the symptoms of a LD but do not actually have any disorder. Instead, these individuals are being affected by social, financial, personal, or general living conditions that make it difficult to learn or remain focused.  These "learning problems" are not considered disorders.  It is very difficult to distinguish between learning disorders and learning problems. If you do not believe that the symptoms are being caused by any outside or social conditions, then the next step is to take a quiz or questionnaire. Many are available online.  These tests will help you assess whether-or-not you should seek any further screening.  Here is a test that you can take at home. On the contrary, individuals with LDs typically demonstrate an average to above average intelligence.  Charles Schwab and Whoopi Goldberg have been diagnosed with LDs, and many suspect that Albert Einstein may have had one as well.  Celebrities Tom Cruise, Danny Glover and Jay Leno all have dyslexia, and have actively campaigned to raise awareness for the disability. Historians and researchers suspect that these historical figures may have also had some form of learning disability: George Patton, Walt Disney, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte.
A: Understand that there are many types of learning disabilities. Know the most common LDs. Familiarize yourself with the general symptoms of a learning disability. Observe daily patterns and routines. Consider the alternative causes. Take a quiz. Understand that having a LD does not mean that a person is in any way unintelligent or incapable.

Article: Be aware of what kind of people you are speaking with, and what makes them laugh. Remember that just because you think something's funny, it does not necessarily mean that the people around you will. You need to know your audience before you can make them laugh!  Be aware that humor changes with age. Older individuals are less likely to laugh at sexual or aggressive types of humor, while the right younger audience may appreciate it. Note that inside jokes, particular group stories, or practical jokes are usually best shared with close friends. You do not want to make someone feel left-out because they don't understand the context. Unless you share similar views, avoid joking about religion or politics.  Use humor to make people feel more comfortable and positive, do not single them out or belittle their appearance or beliefs. Professional comedians say timing is everything and key to comic delivery. Stories and jokes are made more funny when the teller pauses right before the punchline to build drama and anticipation. You can also wait to laugh until a couple seconds after the punchline, that way people can never be sure if you are joking or not. Always give your audience time to laugh before moving on to a different topic.  If you notice something funny, do not wait too long to point it out. Seize the moment! Asides, which are sarcastic or funny comments inserted into conversation, work well when delivered quickly. Keep stories short and simple, as too much background or too many tangents will distract the audience. Audiences appreciate when you make yourself the target of comedy. It will help them open-up and they will find it easier to laugh at both you and themselves. As a result, people will begin laughing and social anxiety will be reduced.  It is not recommended that you begin by making jokes about someone else. If you are with someone who is able to laugh at themselves, you can gently poke fun at them after you have done the same to yourself. Make sure you don't go too far, as this will turn a light-hearted situation into an awkward one. Poking fun at authority figures, such as politicians, celebrities, or (former) bosses is usually safe. Do not make jokes at the expense of people people who are physically or cognitively disabled, or dealing with a difficult experience such as divorce, death, illness, or sexual assault. A good rule of thumb is to punch up, not down. Making fun of a person or entity in a position of power, e.g. a bully, is punching up. Making fun of a person or entity that lacks power, e.g. an oppressed group, is punching down. Punching up challenges the status quo, while punching down reinforces it. Telling well recited jokes, such as knock-knock jokes or inappropriate jokes, will turn people off to your sense of humor. In addition, trying to tell a joke you heard on TV or found online will appear rehearsed and unnatural. Stick with your own observations.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Feel out your audience. Work on your timing when telling a story or joke. Make jokes at your own expense. Target well known subjects that won't be harmed. Avoid memorizing and re-telling older jokes.
