Trying to understand what learning disability is

In the past month, it has been Mental health awareness and another month it will learning disability awareness. Before I go on, sorry if I tell you things you already know.
 A learning disability is something that happens to the brain or and body at some point in the person's life, which could be before birth, during, or after. Whatever it may be affect the person doing most things without support, which could be either one of these things, some or either all.
For example, household tasks, shopping cooking, learning, working, socializing, making friends, personal care, etc. https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/learning-difficulties

Despite of the difficulties people have the right to have as equal lives as possible with the right support. However' just like all of you, we have strengths and weaknesses, therefore there is someone in everyone even people such as us, at least one strength, what we are good as a hobby and even make into a career with the right support to do so, whether it's working for ourselves or someone else. In most things we just may take longer than other problems because most disabilities may slow us down. https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/learning-disability-and-conditions

 Mencap's Learning Disability Week this year will be from the 14th June to the 20th June 2021, which is about arts and creativity https://www.mencap.org.uk/?gclid=CL3C3M6o-qsCFcRO4QodcRHSlQ but I am creating my own disability awareness, which is not only on arts and creativity but careers as well.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1946122655508315/

People with disabilities, mental health, and other problems face barriers in our lives because we struggle to make ourselves understood compared to other people but that doesn't mean positives are impossible for us, just that things may take a little longer compared to other people. This is maybe barriers around our health education, how we live, learn, work socialize, look after ourselves, etc, which most things we may need support. https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/resources-healthcare-professionals https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/research-and-statistics
