... what if a dyslexic wasn't able to read "No traspassing" or something like that, I think there are times in which a learning disorder or a disibility can exonerate some from responsability, depending on the situation of course, however, it can also be abused.

Even if a person can't read, it is expected that a mentally competant individual would understand such concepts as private property and restricted access ... the chain-link fence the 'No Tresspassing' sign was posted on would give the average citizen a clue, too.

Curious to note, when it comes to kids, sometimes behaviours from some kids, a bully who has ADHD or aspies with ADHD, sometimes their behaviours are exonerated because of it, heck, parents would claim discrimination if some action would be taken against a kid like that in schools.

That's parental instinct for you. It's also why there are laws covering juvenile behavior.
