In Of Mice and Men, is Lennie aware of his intellectual disability?

Yes and no. He knows he does things ';wrong'; - such as killing the mice by holding them too tightly, and his honestly heartfelt apologies to George support this- but I do not think he actually has the intellectual capacity to pinpoint it as a specific mental disability as such.In Of Mice and Men, is Lennie aware of his intellectual disability?
I think he isn't aware of having a disability but he is vagely aware of being 'different' and 'unintelligent'. It's just like mentaly disabled children, they know something is wrong with them but lack the intelligence to understand it.In Of Mice and Men, is Lennie aware of his intellectual disability?
I'm vaguely aware of mine, so I often think others are aware of theirs, Lennie too. Sometimes I'm very wrong, though. ;-}
