Humans are an amazingly adaptive bunch.

We used to call it being ambidextrous. I can drive a hammer with either hand. The only time it was a problem was when I was driving submarines, specially when headed south, which one does a lot in the higher latitudes. If I actually wanted to turn more than 180 degrees, I had to add the phrase, “the long way”, to my rudder and course order, or the helmsman would question the order.

Isnt GW supposed to br dyslexic?

[The_Reader_David]

There is also a surprisingly high incidence of dyslexia among those of in the ‘blackboard sciences’—mathematics and theoretical physics.

To bad I am lexdysia.

<< Matthew 6:3 >>
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
“But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

This is also how I play the piano.

I wonder if any of them run a business helping dyslexics?

I’m particularly “bad” with phone numbers... something screws me up between my brain hearing the numbers and copying them down on paper. I usually just copy it 3 times now...and best two out of three is what I dial.

On another silly note.... I can handwrite impeccably backwards....faster than I can write forwards. Held up to a mirror...my backwards writing is neater than when I attempt to write forwards.

Go figure.

Dyslexics of the World, Untie!!

[VOA]

William Hewlett of HP was dyslexic; mediocre in school until late
in college/grad school. He honed his skill at listening intently
to instructors and remembering lectures as he really couldn’t take good notes.

This and other great tidbits in the fine history of HP titled,
“Bill And Dave”.

Well I guess I am a stat then. I have been fighting dyslexia all my life, and owned my own IT business for 15 years. Still do a little consulting.

I’ll be damned if I would let some crappy thing like that keep me down, just had to work harder and be willing to look like an idiot and deal with a$$holes sometimes...

[jacquej]

dyslexic here.

Figured out how to overcome it in reading, but not with numbers, alas.

Never interfered with my adult life, but sure messed up my GPA.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

I know a dyslexic that runs a successful god kennel.

[TYVets]

You mean I am not alone?

I click on Spellcheck and I get the answer back:

My daughter has brain damage that has caused difficulty with speech/reading/writing. However, she still gets mostly As and a few Bs. Basically, she gets the same grades as her gifted brother and sister. The only difference is that she works for her grades.

She doesn’t like to be identified by her weaknesses. She likes to be known as the girl who likes challenges and likes to work hard.

I think she’ll do well in life with her positive attitude. She’s only 11, so we still have a long way to go. Hopefull, she’ll continue to have her positive attitude.

[tcostell]

I'm dyslexic and I design program trading systems for a hedge fund, arguably the most competitive "big business" in the world.

George Patton was also dyslexic and it didn't keep him from success in VMA and West Point, or heroic in the US Army.

It's all a matter of determination, although I'm sure that thanks to "spell checker" I have it a little easier than George did.

[FastCoyote]

I have hairy palms. What’s that all about?

[TexanToTheCore]

I agree with this analysis.
