I'd like to apologize, since I am not a native speaker. So when faced with subtleties I might not perceive them properly. That said I'm aware of what I wrote and how it doesn't make sense.

And now for the record to just rehash what I am doing:

1. The person is obviously being treated differently from others (he is being given a chance),

2. I will not treat his work differently due to his condition. I want him to get up to speed and I'm helping along,

3. He doesn't need blanket pats on the back. He needs them when they're due and he also needs a proverbial kick in the arse when due.

Also, discrimination is a term used when we act negatively towards someone. I'd be discriminating against my mentee if I were telling him that he's no good dimwit. Or are you suggesting that I'm discriminating towards others?
