Learning disabilities in adults are quite common, but may go undiagnosed for years. Just like children, adults can suffer from ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders, and others that can be disruptive to work and personal life. The problem with adult learning disabilities is that they often cause different symptoms than in children, or may be stigmatized. Adults with ADD/ADHD, for example, may feel that their symptoms are indicative of laziness rather than a treatable disorder.
