This was so hard. The only thing that got me through it was thinking about what I was going to say well in advance. I planned out a couple phrases and questions. I said what I had planned to say and it was a little easier. I knew what to ask, but the best thing I could think to say in response to them helping me was "gracias," so I looked kid of silly.
As I thought about this I was a little taken back. How would this be? How would it be to have to have conversations with people on the spot? I am baffled at the complexity of everyday conversation for people with learning disabilities. When the pressure hits, it is like I can't think of a single word without an "n" or "l" in it! It is terribly frustrating and I would never wish this on anyone! This also made me wonder if this affects how quickly people with this disability think and process information...
