Yes iam happy as a dyslexia. i belive so because of 3 things 1. i was 1 of the first to bee helped in the late 1950s 60s to the late 70s and as they studyed as hand what was happering to us at school home what they where trying to do to help us in are ablity to read write socialy relate and where related 2 because of the affects of the dexlia on us in life on so may leavles and as they gained this knowlage and the knowlage of how the brain wks and how to teach children to release what in them to benift others and socity I have whated and been part of this over the yrs. also as a mum with children with it i have seen there is more help for them and others of theire generation and those to come.Yes ther was pain for them and still is but it was less than for me and i was one off the lucky one off my generation for that i am so thankfull. I will never dine that iam dexlia never have. iwas tought that i was the same as otheres but many could not see that to forgive them and to keep trying to do as the teacher whanted.to belive that i had tryed as hard as i could and too always 2 that was the only way all the help i was getting would help me.this is how i still live and taught my children they whent and are going futher than i did af school.because they are thire generation with all the knowlage and wisdom agined over the yrs. such as the electrionical means there is now for it as well for dexlias to bee opend up too.many intersting things and ablities that where clossed dooors for my generation.but we still gain from the benifects of this in are lives in so many ways. number 3 is.there is now more aceptance in the learning world for us .but my pary is that there will bee more general acceptance in soicity of who we are are ablitties gifts that are insided us and how these could be a beniffit to otheres and socity if we are allowed to discover who we are and to funtion in are differances we been given.As this comes about and is i belive that more of us will be able too express who we are and in so doing learn to like areselves instead of doughting who we are and are gifts in so doing we would bee able too feel that we have so much that is off vaule to could offer to others in life.that is off help.IN so doing this we would be able to accept ourselves in ways we have not in the past.There is pain and its hard for many of us still. No matter how hard we try as poeople to funtion in sociaty as others do. this cant bee denied eaither e.g. as a dexlia unable to sit and read a book just for interest laughing as you do as my sister did as a child and still dose and is a libaraine now and as my husband dose, or as aparent with it unable as a mum or dad to help with homework as others do and when they little are expected too.and then the added pain of that if you have a child you passed it on too. and are unable to help when your hart whants too.to help them in there ablity to do there home wk.as other mum do.as a mum that whatens good for them thats so much of your famility.that in us to take care off people and to help are husbands thats what in us how it hurts us and how traped we feel in not been able too that comes form with in US.with out the pain that comes form othere when things are said or as you what others in todays world when it takes 2 wking parents too been able to porovied for a family or as a couple now days.just to live with out any off yhe needs that go along with dexlia childern which others you know dont have the expencess of with out all the other that above things we do.as we try to help.How we long to help provied with all of the needs that require the wking wage off 2.the pain off it cant bee known unless you walk it or have.Yes there is joy in how we are and what we are and in all the knowlage that can now help us and are children.Yes there is joy in been dexlia.and the joy off all thats known that whats in the 1950s we now live in the yr 2010. and there are diffrent pressers and needs of soicity today not more just diffrent because soicity is diffrent than it was for my mum dad than it is fore me now and my dexlia girls as young 20ys olds as me as mum with dexlia as well neaither was my mum or dad or sister and no othere family was just me. i never dreamed that my children would bee.....there diffrent pressers on us all than there was.and we all trying to cope as we walk through life.Do not stop beliving you are special and have gifts insided you that others need.and in others there is also in them.We all need each other and the freedom to know and grow and realise the gifts we been given.

You aren't alone. I struggled with dyslexia through grade school. Now, however, I view dyslexia as a gift. As a novelist, it helps me make connections where other people can't. Recently, at my writers' group I was talking with another dyslexic. Finally, the other members of the group stopped us. They said, "Wait, you lost me. I can't follow you. Please help me understand." We dyslexics, with the superior mind, smiled, slowed down and explained. It felt so good. Yes, dyslexia is a gift. Yes, I have been viewed as stupid because I have it. No, I won't ever return my gift.
