Do you think we should take into account mental disabilities in determining reasonable conduct? Can you act as a reasonable insane person?

Apologies in advance for sounding callous when saying that it's difficult to trust a guy with an eye patch. It's a horrible thing to say but

Hello ! I enjoy your videos so much I’m only 15 and I’m already desiring to become a lawyer the only thing I’m worried about is I’m not very social until I’m comfortable with someone. Would law school be hard for me especially if I guess I would say anti social ?

I find the phrasing 'reasonable prudent person' interesting. In Australia at least the standard at law is referred to as a 'reasonable person' and only at equity as a 'prudent person'. Is there any doctrinal significance in the fact that the words are used together like that in America? Or is it just that a different turn of phrase was used in the case law than in the Anglo tradition?

Professor, how do the courts view someone with learning disabalaties in tort law cases as the defendent. ?

I respect the woman who was harboring Catholic priests in her home.
