Subject: RE: BS: /OS: Any dyslexic 'Catters? (Like me)
Although I certainly realise from the amazingly imformative posts here, that some of my learning quirks art not strictly speaking dyslexic-related, I have a question. Garg, you referred to "lightening reading", and it rang a few bells. When I'm reading something that truly interests me, eg: Music, history, POLITICS, baseball etc. I absorb whole paragraphs at a time, and seem to be able to retain it quite easily. When I'm faced with the simplest manual explaining the workings of a computer, tape deck, assembly of a toy, or music royalties form, tax info...etc. that kind of thing, I have to go over it countless times...and often still just DON'T GET IT. I'm curious whether any other catters have a similar situation.
