Everything you need to about dyslexia is right here. You might know about someone who has dyslexia, or perhaps you have it yourself. It can be a strange thing if you are left wondering what it is and what to do with it. Some people might say or imply that you are just dumb or aren’t trying hard enough to read, spell, or do something literate. The truth is, though, that dyslexia is an completely diverse method of looking at reality, and even though it comes with some late educational disabilities and struggles, it can also be an inspirational, divergent way for the brain to construe matter and facts so as to create more success in life. Those with dyslexia use a different part of their brain, which often makes them geniuses at certain aspects, in specific professions, or when it comes to practical things. Thus, pushing them into a vocabulary, a language-based learning system, or pure literacy isn’t always the best choice.

My teacher often wrote on the top of my exercise book "THINK" in big red letters. Miss Hancock was my best teacher but even she wrote in my book 'You haven't understood the question'. On one of my holiday visits with Roger he had a tape recorder which we all had to speak into while reading from the newspaper. I suddenly reaslized that my turn was about to come. I became almost paralyzed with fear. Should I say that I can't read or should I try to remember what the others had read before me? Reading and spelling weren't the only difficulties I had. Mental arithmetic was a huge problem for me. The numbers kept moving around in my mind.

No doubt there are people with mild dyslexia who can be taught to read and spell. Unfortunately there are others, myself included, who will never have adequate literacy skills. I still get told; "If I really tried to learn to read I could do it!" That makes me really mad. I have completed graduate and post graduate university courses and have four books with a total of 300,000 words in print. And I still cannot read or spell adequately without the aid of a computer. I hear people saying they 'were' dyslexic, that they found this or that remedy and the problem was fixed. That is fine for them but I will take my dyslexia to the grave. Thankfully though, text-to-speech technology came along in time for me. It has made it possible for me to research and write my books and to cope with life in a world dominated by the printed word.
