Learning Disabilities and Unemployment

I read an article about the association between childhood disabilities, adult-age mental problems, lack of education, and unemployment. According to the article people who have a math disability have a higher unemployment rate and more mental health problems than those with a reading disability. The article also states that males with reading disabilities pose a higher risk than females do with mental health and educational problems.

I found this article very interesting that males are affected more than females. I have to wonder if it is linked to the male and female chromosomes. A lot of the time, a male is more susceptible to something because of the XY chromosomes.

I also found it interesting that people with math disabilities are more likely to struggle than those with a reading disability. I would have thought it would have been the opposite since reading is a part of our daily routines, such as signs and directions.
