Re: Is there a polite way

Probably not, but sometimes I think it's understandable why someone would.

True story: my husband had a co-worker whose quirks made him exceedingly difficult to work with, and he finally became exasperated to the point that he flat out asked the guy, "Look, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but in all seriousness: do you have a learning disability?" The guy's answer? "Nope. My parents have had me tested like eight times and I always come up normal."

OP
That story is close to the situation I'm in and why I asked. Sometimes knowing if someone has a disability or diagnosis can really help build your patience and also help in how you interact.

I actually have a language problem and can often come off as offensive when that is the last thing I meant. I often tell people this ahead of time so that they can maybe look a little more at my words to see what I'm attempting to say, but also so they can help by pointing out where I went wrong.
