Hi I'm dyslexic and I don't feel that dyslexia is
medical condition.. I can't take any drugs and "cure
-it". It's a different way of thinking and seeing
things. I belive things are more 3-d to me not 2-d..
And if I can't put it in some kind of 3-d form, I
don't get it.. So that's why so many dyslexics have
problems with p d q b letters,, if you look at them as
a 3-d person,, they are all the same shape,, just how
they are laying on the paper.. I hope this helps.
