I think the problem with most of us with Dyslexia is that we dwell on the negative. It is like being given a Porsche and then complain that you can't fit five people in it like those with a mini van's. Yes I can't spell very well, as a building inspector I'm always being asked (how in the world do you see everything that is wrong) What we have is a gift that most of the world doesn't. I like the Porsche. Put the metal down and get on with life. Think out of the box. I don't care about what the others, who are driving their mini vans, I know what I can do. And what I can do I far surpass those who can spell better then me. Yes I'm glad I was allowed to be given this great gift, and pray that I'm using it to the uttermost potential.
