Overview

A learning disability affects the way you learn new things.  

Many people with learning disabilities work, have relationships and live independently.  

Others may need more support.   

Knowing if you have a learning disability or autism can help you understand your needs and get support.  

You can find out by speaking to a doctor or health professional to get a diagnosis.  

A diagnosis can help you get support to: 

  • meet new people 
  • learn new skills 
  • do the things you enjoy 
  • live independently and safely
