I have a learning disability. I was diagnosed when I was 8. I have spent most of my adult life explaining that I do know how to read and I am more than a little intelligent. My handwriting is atrocious. Correct English spelling is a bit difficult for me. I do best with numbers if I talk to myself. (Which means I don't test well.) I am not well coordinated, and wise enough to know I should never dance. Unfortunately I love it, and I dance any time I have the opportunity. I was even a Scottish highland dancer for a while. (My old teacher says, "You tried".)

I did Delcatto therapy as a child. Part of the treatment was no music. I'm always glad my parents couldn't really do that to me. I had to crawl around on the floor, with no music, though music would have made that exercise in futility bearable. But otherwise, I could enjoy a tune when I heard it.
