Subject: RE: BS: dysleximoron? (define!)
Hey thats exactly the same kind of daim bramage I have.
Thing is, other than having to make time consuming associations to use language, dyslexia is not so bad. It keeps me from doing public speaking. ITs the moron part that bugs me.

My autistic son is an honor student at and beyond his grade level yet he too has severe language complications. He still does not get my satire humor.

My younger son gets the whole psychic communication, satirical jokes and irony thing and has no language problems what so ever.

With the exeption of Helen Keller, what irks me are the people who market or make a big deal about their life condition as if they deserve extra consideration for any kind of handicap...like the artist who paints with his mouth because he has no hands. Big Deal.
We may not all be equal but we all have a life condition that presents the challenge of life itself.
