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.

If it wasn't for a most dyslexic 13 year old, America wouldn't have the only phonetic dictionary in the world. Find your word by the way it sounds. It was her idea and it is selling like crazy...so I know dyslexics are genius! http://www.dyslexia-test.com/famous.html
