That is great that he was diagnosed so early. The overlays and
filters should be able to help him a lot, maybe he won't need to
learn as many coping strategies.

I think I could have gotten straight As in school if I would have
been able to read more. I developed a great memory instead and if I
heard the teacher say something, I could get it right on the test
(provided that we were given enough time that I could actually
finish the test).

I'm now in my 4th year of college, and awaiting the arrival of my
filters.
