my mild dyslexia was (dyiniosed) "now it will take me ages to spell this word because spellcheck tells me it is wrong."
Then there is the letter "a" I many times don,t see eg; Raunds I see as Rounds.
Many things like this happen with mild dyslexia.

Hana,s got it correct with bad writing, I do it on purpose to avoid bad grammer etc; yet I can draw a good image of your face.

I somehow manage and it does not affect my life and most important my health.
I am lucky enough to have things checked prior to deliverance. But not on this forum as I feel it is only fair, apart from spellcheck.

There is loads of other odd things that tie up with dyslexia eg; long time to learn to tie shoelaces. many dyslexia's are diff;

Thank you Roy .
For explaining more on dyslexia - I found it interesting and it has given me angles into how things can be.
Please just chime in with whatever you wish, dont worry over any variation on the spelling.
We can untangle it ourselves - plus it will represent we will neither judge or laugh any dyslexia members here .

Yes amazing how quickly I could start reading that :clap:

This is interesting Roy as I am told I tie my shoe laces back to front, I think I do this as I learned form watching others do it so from my perspective I do it the right way but in reality it is a mirror image.

I also play guitar and struggled quite a bit to teach myself as when I look at someone else playing the guitar I cant turn it round to what I am doing, unless I watch a left handed guitarist then it all looks right to me, again in mirror image.

Not sure how my dyslexia actually affects me as when I went to school there was no such thing as dyslexia, well there was but back in the 50's and 60's it wasnt known about so I was just called lazy, a day dreamer because I couldnt follow what was being taught I suppose, I have always struggled with spelling and avoided writing at all for years, it is computers that have really helped me but I couldnt cope without spellcheck. My wife is a secretary and has an a level in English and was my spellcheck for years before computers.

I have had 4 children who have all been diagnosed as dyslexic and one as dyspraxic (spelling lol) as well, so it came as no surprise to me to learn that it can be genetic and past from father to son/daughter.

I managed both but not immediately, only after a few seconds of working it out.. Absolutely fascinating. :thumbup:
Wonder how long it took to think that one up.
The brain is an incredibly marvellous thing right enough.

Love your story viviennem.

Very interesting information regarding dyslexia izzi. A pal's son had a hard time at school due to dyslexia, the teachers kind of looked upon him as if he was stupid. So he thought to himself, "well, if they think I'm stupid as may as well act like one".

He got himself into quite a bit of trouble at school due to his adopted attitude. But I'm sure everyone, apart from his teachers, can understand his rebellious attitude.
He was a very nice young man who died tragically at the age of 34 two or three years ago.

Great post.

Has anyone ever found themselves seeing the same number plate sequence over and over. I once went through months of either finding myself following cars with registrations starting with DEO .... or noticing them oncoming. It happened so often that I told my young grandson about it one day and sure enough we spotted one, then two, then three and he continued counting and we spotted 44 numberplates starting DEO in about one hour's driving. :shock:

The reason is, with old style number plates, i.e. ABC 123A the first 3 letters are area specific, so ABC will be given to cars first registered in say Plymouth! The new style number plates i.e. AB08 ABC the first 2 letters are area specific for example WG is given to cars first registered in Exeter

Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind.
And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long, long, ways down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.
Only very good minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!

If you can read this, you have a strange mind, too. Only 55 people out of 100 can.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseaethe huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Guess I'm one of the 55!

I could read it too-but I saw a chicken!

I've seen that text before, and could read it then & now.

The image I could see both the face and the rat/mouse - it switches between the two interpretations, and I've had that happen before with other dual interpretation images.

I sometimes wonder if I have a weird-ish view of things because I'm left handed and a lot of what's normal for right handers is completely cack-handed for the likes of me?

All the best people are left handed! My husband and children are too! How weird is that?

Lefthandedness seems to run in our family too, but not to such a great extent. My (maternal) aunt, a teacher, was ambidextrous, which she always said was good for writing on blackboards. My father was left handed, as am I and one of my nieces, and her older son too.

And at one point over 25% of us at work were lefties too.
