Over the years i guess i've learned to accept i'm not "as smart" as other poeple. I look at these "smart" people as so lucky that thinking clearly comes so easily to them. It it is frusterating. But, I have to remind myself that there are many things that this disability lets me see and understand the "smart" people simply can't do. For example...I don't know about you...but I'm a very good translator. I can help the very logical thinker communicate with a very emotional thinker. People who are having relationship problems, for example...and can't seem to communicate with each other often ask me to listen in and help them communicate what they are trying to convey to each other. I imagine most people, like me, with this particular dispbiality are good at this. Because we have to work so hard to understand things from a prospective that most "smart" people never have to do. I hope this helps. Be proud of yourself...you make the world better.

Author: Roy Masters (Happy) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 04:01:43 06/23/10 Wed You are correct! I spent fifty years inventing along with studying geology and geophysics, during that time I have made many discoveries but due to the lack of qualifications I can not be recognized. I would love to start an academy or something similar purely for dyslexics so that they may process problems between themselves. Regards Roy
