's message, "Professions for dyslexics" on 21:08:44 10/25/08 Sat
In General:
Dyslexic adults develop other skills to compensate for those that they lack in reading, writing...that is not to say that they cannot do these things...just that they avoid professions based totally on same. You will find when they communicate by written form they prefer to write little.i.e. short pieces of correspondence. They also avoid professions that require them to organize and sort intricate things They are artistic, often have musical ability (so you may find them at least having a go at playing in bands at some point in their life.) They are great interacting with people persons,(so are great in people industries PR on a personal level...(as long as there is not too much emphasis on the writtten word - this can fluster and frustrate them)and they therefore make great entrepreneurs and sales/marketing people marketing their own product or those of others. They are great mechanically e.g. in fixing things or understanding how things work so you'll find them in avionics; electronics; engineering; design of cars...vehicles..machines and anything else that requires 3Dimensional visual spatial skills. They have a great imagination and often adore SCI-FI and are very intuitive....so are great at developing a plot for a TV series...providing another co-writer does the writing.They are ideas people! Since they have no trouble explaining why something happened and the consequences of that event...they can suit film and filmographic careers - photography, film editing, film making (but not acting particularly since they have difficulty remembering the sequence of lines etc. As photographers they are very creative and often see a side of the human condition that others just do not see. They (generally)like anything associated with drawing, graphic arts, sculpture...; they like things to do with designing....e.g. aeroplanes, models,...interior and exterior design of houses, architecture. They make great entrepreneurs in business because of their people skills and sales and marketing ability - and are very successful and can be liked by people a lot in general due to their unique and interesting individual personalities . They make great artists...sculptors...painters...sketchers....athletes. They love computers; know how computers work...and subsequently are capable and successful at designing software... They like cooking...making up their own creative recipes...but may not like to consult receipe books. Normal tidiness is not their virtue...for they have trouble sorting things and tend to pile things that they need to be able to see, so they don't suit industries where tidiness or storage e.g. archival work is exacted. Hope this is helpful...but its a general comment....because each person is unique and different. Hope same helps!
