Er...they/we *are*, Emma.

Ask Education Otherwise.

Sorry, Dyslexia IS a gift....but for way too long it's seemed far more like a bloody hard slog, because of the way children who have it, and other brain patterns like it, are treated.

The sooner schools, teachers, experts, whatever begin to realise that we are the way we are *supposed* to be, for a very important reason, the better.

And actually, it'd be REALLY cool if all the "I *Refuse* To Understand!" bastards stood up and apologised for what they've done to so many deeply creative, intelligent, kind, shy, sensitive people.

The Apology could start with SCHOOL!

Hey, now wouldn't THAT be something?

My builder? Dyslexic. He 'sees' the finished room in a flash. Always had trouble reading and writing...is only just starting to realise that the GIFT he has as a builder is because of the way his brain thinks, interprets, processes..
