I am glad that you mentioned this information. It lets me understand my son's
problem with how he learns compared to how the school teaches. My daughter
explained to me that she had to see the whole picture, not just parts, in order
to be able to do a computer program. She was above the others in her class,
since she could understand it this way.

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.
