Well it is about time that I got involved in a group like this. It
is really weird that I have never met anyone with Dyslexia ever
besides my father. Or maybe I have and couldnt tell. It seems like
we keep it a dirty secret and trust me I know why but don't agree. I
would just like to say that I wrote a really nice opening letter to
the group and somehow it didn't post. Go figure. Anyways I am 25
and was diagnoseed at a young age thanks to the Montessori program I
also think that is where I was able to come to terms with my
differences without the fear of prejudice. I have progresivly gotten
better at changing my habits over a lifetime and have noticed huge
changes these last few years (college). Only reason being is because
of hard work and persaverance. I find most people are so caught up
with this disorder that they think it can't be overcome and they
should just accept it but I think persaverace stuborness and a hard
headed almost stupid amount of detirmination is the only way. Maybee
I am just typing to hear/read my thoughts but I think not. I am
10'000 plus words into a book i am writing and its good even though
it has been revised hundreds of times. I think dyselxia is a gift
and we should use its benefits to our advantage and work on its
weeknesses. After all we are unlike all others able to see
situations from the end and work towards the beginings, we are very
artistic, inteligent and dare I say better looking than most. Ok
enough ranting from me.
