Learning disabilities
In many young kids learning disabilities have been observed. Some serious cognitive disabilities have also been noticed in some children. The link between learning disabilities and muscular dystrophy is not well understood. Doctors think that the abnormalities regarding dystrophin in the brain can have subtle effects on cognition and behavior. The mutations in a protein that cause muscle weakness in the body may also interfere with the brain’s functioning, causing multiple abnormalities, including difficulty in focusing and paying attention, the problem with learning things verbally, and emotional interaction with others. These learning disabilities involve neurological processing problems and make it very difficult for them to acquire skills and knowledge. Even the simplest task seems difficult to do, and it interferes with organizational skills, time management skills, and the person even faces difficulty in understanding relations and building relationships.
