Sometimes, it is true that the children with learning disabilities may have learning problems, talk too much or at the wrong time or say things that are inappropriate. Not only that some of are in conversation, have trouble expressing themselves and miss the actual point of a lot humor. These children do not get important things that seem to come effortlessly to other kids. They may have the trouble understanding what is happening in a group and finding a way of fitting in.
