I am dyslexic but I can spell (haha, sometimes) - does anybody else have this kind of dyslexia? or any other kind of dyslexia for that matter - how does it affect you?
It hits me sometimes when Im trying to organise lots of information into a readable format and I just have to down tools for a while - and giving somebody directions is a nightmare - one time, after a car with a man asking directions had pulled away, I realised that I had been saying left and pointing right - I think it was the screeching of tyres that gave it away
Yes my son was dyslexic. I did not pick it up until he was in school he would turn the letter different ways. Like if he was doing his name the B would be upside down and he would make it into a car. He finally learned to read when he needed to go to a regular junior high, he fought to get in.
thats brilliand Kitty, well done to your son and to you too who mustve helped a lot along the way
it wasnt till last yr that i was assessed by an ed psych. so it had gone undetected for 52yrs - most odd i think - i was good at english at school so I think there must be stuff around the organisational skills area I need to look at.
