What a load of baloney, Mary.

Sorry, but I don't wear dyslexia on my sleeve. I don't brand my children either...

I tell you what though, I got damn bloody mad when I saw the terrible damage that school had done to my child...and if more parents felt that anger, admitted to some of the terrible things that are going on, then that institution would be a far better place, because it would have to be.

I don't take to people telling me how I should be. I AM me.

Carol feels the same, I think.   

I've been hounded on the internet for the way I write. I've had a witch hunt out for years...You saw what another Mudcatter had written about me on Facebook, and no, it was NOT a page made by the BNP.

I have never demanded that these strumped up twits write in another way, or told them how or what to write about.

School is fine for some kids and it's hell for others..and that is the part that is not taken into account..the 'hell' bit.

I find it appalling that so many people suffer because of ignorant people who know *nothing* about dyslexia, yet profess to knowing it all.

You said to Carol, above...

"..Is it at all possible that it is your attitude and not your disability causing your perceived difficulties?.."

Sigh...

Mary, Carol does NOT have a 'disability'! That's the whole point of what she, and I, have been trying to say! Dyslexia is NOT a disability, it's purely my brain, Carol's brain, whoever's brain, lighting up in different parts, that's all.

And if I/we get bloody angry at times with those who constantly tell us...me at least..how I should be, or seek to belittle me, poring over every word I write, looking for faults...is it any wonder!

Holey Moley!
