We live in a world where we have created a perfect system in order to control our lives and see some sort of organizational inclination. From the first day of school to the start of your professional life you will see two types of people around you, the usual ones who are perfectly fine with the system and fit in quite well. Then there the unusual ones, or shall we say, people with learning difficulties.
Ironically, there is not much in our current world what the unsuals may be able to relate to. Everyone needs a little inspiration every now and then, from novels to TV shows; characters depicted in the story line can lighten up anyone’s day and spur a ray of hope in their lives.
If we talk about the unusual ones, there are two TV shows which can serve as an inspiration to them.
The famous TV show “Doctor Who” is a must watch for young people with learning difficulties. The character might not be as real as they get, however the “Doctor” faces some real life challenges, something the unusuals can easily relate to. The Doctor is an alien with 13 lives and 2 hearts who travels through space and time. The character is clever, has a wild imagination and is typically quite unusual. People with learning difficulties easily respond to the character and relate to his problems and inspire to be somewhat like the doctor.
Another character, Sherlock Holmes, from a TV show aired on BBC series, “The Sherlock” has gained popularity in masses specifically the unusual ones. The unique, witty and exceedingly intelligent character has a lot young people with learning difficulties can relate to. He struggles to make peace with everyday life and connect with the rest of the world while trying to prove his worth to the world.
It is a positive sign to see such characters, and few others too, gain such massive popularity amongst masses. The rather unusual ones now have an inspiration to look towards.
