Subject: Re: Dyslexic Joy Author: Vanessa [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:48:08 05/11/10 Tue In reply to: Jane 's message, "Re: Dyslexic Joy" on 23:52:19 01/05/10 Tue I am 25 years old and I and my husband are dslexic. I have struggled my whole entire life with this promblem, but I kept on going. We both have jobs and yes it is difficult but we keep going. I want to cry almost everynight and give up on everything sometimes because it is too hard or beccause i am just frustrated, but i don't. Both of Graduated from college but not all teacher understand, and some do. I am a Nutritionist and getting through college is not easy and it is a daily struggle. I am in my intership where i don;t have my comfort of spell check, i was upfront with my charting notes and i get yelled at at told " you are very smart but you just need to work on spelling and grammer". As much as you explain it people don't understand unless they have a loved one that has dyslexia or they have it themseleves. My sister in law is getting her Master now for 4 years because her paper the end results is not grammatically there. She really feels that she will not finish, but you have to have a strong family support to continue giving you the strength to keep going. I want to give up some days , but it you have to learn your coping strategies to get you through it. If you are writting a paper the paper needs to written a day before it due and get an editor,if you can't pay try a friend, they seem to help, if you truly have a good friend. We are all busy but i seem to always have someone when it counts. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Dyslexic Joy Author: Mardi [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:05:49 05/17/10 Mon It's frustrating to live in a world where writing perfectly is looked up too, and if u fall short in this area then you are instantly preceived as an idiot. Obviously we aren't idiots...as just being able to communicate with each other on this thread prooves...but it doesn't change the pain caused by the dasaproving attitudes by the "clear thinkers" around us. In a perfect world our actions would speak louder than the written word...but the world isn't like this yet. We just have to learn to function their way, as well as we possible can. This disability is like any other, I suppose. If your are blind...you simply learn to hear better. So if we can't communicate through writting, or speaking or whatever...we should fine-tune our other skills.
