Sorry Matt, bugger all to do with words. A side effect of Dyslexia is a
difficulty with words but cavemen suffered from Dyslexia just as we do
today.
The "problem" is how the brain deals with information. We process
information in a seperate way to "mundanes" Its why Dyslexics often
discover new inventions or are highly original creativly.
We have a problem learning your system of education as it has been
designed for the way your brain works.
Try writing with the wrong hand. Its kinda like what it was like for me in
school when I had to say the 7 times tables in front of the class. I knew
the theory of what I should be doing, but the result came out scrambled
In my day, teachers didn't know about Dyslexia so I was branded a
"thicky". I only wish my maths teacher was still alive so I could rub his
face in my Mensa certificate... (Gold)
