Good Morning -
My concern involves dating a man who truly doesn’t seem to understand my son. You may say ‘Why put up with it, and find someone who does undertand’, but that is harder than it seems. The average run of the mill person we meet assumes my son is retarded/ or “slow”. What I need to do is date a special ed teacher who has first hand experience. Am I alone??

Why do you think a special ed teacher would know anymore? They may have the lingo down but do they really get it? I doubt it.
LD is such a catch-all and in may ways a misnomer why would you expect him to understand something even they experts don’t.
Give him time to get to know your son. This stuff ain’t easy for anyone.
