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 rolling on the floor laughing

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.

Today he is doing good, at age 32.wave

thats brilliand Kitty, well done to your son and to you too who mustve helped a lot along the way thumbs up

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.

Why was it a good thing that Fonzie wasn't dyslexic?
Because if he was, instead of acting cool, he'd be going around acting "loco."


Didja hear about the dyslexic horse-racing fan in England?
He wanted to go to Ascot, but ended up seeing "Tosca" instead.
