I followed your YouTube link. Thank you for putting me on to it. I found it touching. It gave me some slightly different perspectives. LD is different from everyone that has one. Just as life is different to everyone. We all have different experiences and perceptions. Sometimes how we experience the world is due to our past experiences and our different outlook. Sometimes it's due to qualitative differences in perception.
I often laugh when I think of the image of the the artist painting and endlessly mixing and tinting colours. Even the perception of the simplest colour is different in different people. Males have halved the blue receptors females do, so males do not perceive blue the same as females -- at least not a sensitively. That's just the beginning of the visual perception process. Differences in brain processing of visual stimuli bring in a whole new ball game. That's where the physiological forms of dyslexia giveaway to neurological effects. People were dyslexia may differ in visual perception to the majority of the population or humanity, but there's great variation within the portion of humanity with dyslexia. We are all individual. We all have their own gifts.
Your YouTube link has inspired me to keep striving to assist others. Assisting others is the strongest and deepest way to me to help myself.
John and Jhn (Oops!) were both me. Thanks to your contribution. It was helpful and inspiring.
I have been trying to get a support group together in Melbourne, Australia. This and other Internet sites you have shown me may well be the most favoured means of mutual support between people with LD.
There are some people who want to talk directly to others. I need to get a formal organisation to support "my group" so that everyone is protected and there is a formal oversight of ethical behaviour. It sounds complicated, but it doesn't have to be.
Thanks to your contact I am inspired to keep trying.
