Your son is very special. Let me explain why he writes letters
backwards which probably will bring some light to everyone. Your son
has this gift called dyslexia. He is so bright, that he sees in 3D,
as most of us dyslexics do. He sees all sides of the letters, even
the backside (all angles). When he is done looking at the letter, he
writes it down where he leaves off. We all would do the same, except
we were conditioned to write it their way. Bear in mind, he has to
think 5 times harder than people without dyslexia. He/We are like
computers. We input all information, even all sides of letters.
When things speed up, we become disorientated and even dizzy. I hope
you know that it is proven that dyslexics are more intelligent and
commonly left handed using there right side of their mind (the
creative side). HE is truly amazing. He will do great things in
life.....
