This weekend I was at a group theropy session to support my wifes anerxia rehab, and they were talking about genetic influences and when they were talking about issues with complexity and dyslexia, I recognized that was me? When ever I mad transpositional mistakes i joked that i must be dyslexic, but never really know what dyslexia really was. Anyhow, I started researching dyslexia, and I have almost all the symptoms. Looking back at my school grades I excelled in most subjects except reading and writing, and I also had a speach impedament. Although I had trouble with math I was able to eventually get my BSEE degree.
I am just unsure if my dyslexia is genetic or as a result of a head injery I had as a child?

I guess I will ask my doctor what he thinks, and see if he recommends any theropy.
