Thread Name: A Wish for Autism
Subject: RE: A Wish for Autism
wish I could get my hands of the guy that invented the b and the d's both still look exactly the same to me. But there is life with Dyslexia. I have published in every scientific journal in my career on software engineering ... all I can say ... Thank God for spell checkers.

When I grew up we were just called stupid. Then a great teacher said maybe there is something with this kid ... gave me a battery of IQ tests, then I went from stupid to gifted .. talk about messing up a kids head ...!! Thank God they have ways of helping today instead of leaving a kid to learn to read by himself as in my case ...

Autism, however, a curse for our children .. I wish with all my heart it ends.

Thank you
