Dsylexia ya that’s what I am. I used to find it a burden. Now its a blessing. It’s a bit funny that everyone has a piece on what it is and isn’t. Really it’s many different things and shows in many different ways. I can see an answer, but don’t know how I got there. In college, I used to just pick the right answer and scribble out the math part, hoping it looked good. It always worked. Now, thanks to spell check I can communicate better. Before retirement I was a teacher in public school, and my ‘disability’ was a great help to students needing my kind of help. Now I’m an artist. Some days life is hard, but mostly it’s great, just like a normal person.

Hi there you have some amazing content on here.

My own site just explains some famous dyslexics but what I like about yours is the pictures. For dyslexics they need pictures to make sense of the world.

Thanks for this content I will be back.

I wanted to be a medical doctor, but I thought I was too dumb to make it through medical school. It was before the concept of dyslexia even existed. Studying myself I discovered that dyslexia is more than a learning dissability. It’s an abnormal neurological configuration, in the line of autism, or schizophrenia. The clue arrived one morning upon waking, when I noticed I had dreampt backwards, that is, I dreampt the ending of my dream first, and instantaneously filled the details up to the beginning. One day I had a motorcycle accident, and found myself suspended in midair, time and movement frozen, except my thougths, enough to plan my fall. Now I’m a folk healer in the hills north of Azua.

I don’t know if it’s just alphabetical order, but Scott Adams is an excellent lead.

Have these people really “overcame dyslexia”? Perhaps they’re who they are because of it.

When one has problems with numbers it is not dyslexia but dyscalculia. A similar sort of deal though. Dyscalculaics are generally fantastic with language but horrible with grammar. Horrible at math in general but may be very brilliant in geometry. The entry on Scott Adams seems to refer to this rather than Dyslexia.
