title: The person with a learning disability as a minority group member.
abstract: Last semester, while concluding an autobiography for a class assignment, the author came to the realization that being a person with a learning disability constitutes a strong connection to people of other minority groups. This article will develop that theme, searching relevant issues through applied sociological principles and utilizing personal commentaries by members of those groups.
