A Begining
I have just recently after 47 years have discovered that I am dyslexic, and in saying that I have found it fascinating in the differences that my mind travels as opposed to the so called “Normal” way of thinking. I have been looking further into the what’s, how’s and why’s for an admittedly brief time, but enough reading has confirmed the day to day issues I have faced all my life has a name, and its called Dyslexia.
It has also pointed out some of the shortcuts; actually unknown to me; that I have used day to day and over the years. Some of which I am still recognizing and others I have not found yet.
“What This Blog Is Not”
This Blog is not meant to be “A Pity Party”; in fact I love my life, I have been very successful and have embraced what it is to be me. I can create on the fly, find solutions that will leave a lot of folks scratching their head, I can create or give step by step instructions in an easy format that anyone can follow, I can speak to hundreds of people on stage with few or without notes at all, you can give me the end result of what you need or want and I can create it or find a way to produce it…and a zillion other things that I cannot remotely think of at the moment but all of which makes me…Me.
This Blog is also not meant to be a Scientific Research Assignment, Assessment, Study or Clinical anything.
There are many degrees of Dyslexia and this Blog is not meant to be an answer to your questions on Dyslexia.
I am not having these posts edited other than MS Word, so this Blog is not going to have everything perfect, spelling and grammar has never been my strong point and now I know it never will, so “Grammar Police” stay home and silent…you may be able to process 250 words per minute but I can process about 10,000 images in that same time frame. So, if you are one of “those”, take a deep breath and relax and you may learn something. We are different.
“What This Blog Is”
A curious look at the mind-set and what I see and if possible why.
A way people around me can understand what I am thinking while interacting with them; and, for me to gain insight on how to become a better communicator with the other half of the brain people.
Have you ever heard, “I thought everyone saw it this way.(?)”
No they don’t!
In turn, I will try and seek out non-dyslexics and find their take on the same instance, not just to give you and myself examples but to explore the opposite side of the coin.
I will be referring mostly to my own views on the subjects we cover, however I hope that you will join in, not just in comments but also day to day experiences.
Send me an email on an instance you have encountered and I may publish it as its own post. I am not the only one out there. As I said I am curious and I love to dig into things, let’s get started.
