Your description sounds exactly the way my daughter would describe herself. However, the reality is, she's smarter than the rest of us in the house, to the point that it amazes me sometimes. But all her self-assessments are the same as yours. Her intuition is tops, as is creativity and style. She is a really smart person, and so are you! It shows in your writing.

Carole was absolutely correct in her reply. Strive to adhear to it. Change your focus, look at your strong points and utilize them. Also, focus on others more.

Ruth,
Carole is right. I have been through feeling silly. Learning that I was dyslectic freed me of all my fears. Now I don't care that i cannot spell! Luckily there are computer programs that check your spelling for you. This way I can be a journalist - which I actually am. I can also read people, just like you. My mind also uses out of the mold patterns. There is a lot in common between all of us.
I am sure nobody thinks that you are stupid. As for me - I know I am not - I have managed to hide my disability all my life!
As long as it is not a severe case, I don't see what is so wrong with dyslexia. It only makes you more distinctive in the crowd!
