She's never said exactly what happens with her dyslexia until now, as far as I've seen. If I'm wrong, someone please do correct me.

I'm not sure what she's going for when she says she has it. Is she saying she's brighter than we think, but she has difficulty getting things down on the paper in the proper form? In which case, why doesn't she have more editors and take time to have her writing group go over things?

Is she saying we should praise her for working through having dyslexia when she didn't get special organizational assistance like her daughter? But then why doesn't she have a bible and something more concrete than sticky notes?

I'm dyslexic. I've not been officially diagnosed. I figured it out when I was doing research in college for a psychology class. Suddenly all my years of difficulty paying attention to teachers but yet being able to learn fine from books had a reason. I understand what a huge revelation it can be. At the same time, however, it allowed me to realize I had coping mechanisms and allowed me to improve upon them.

So is there something wrong with me for using spell-check faithfully and loving that the new Firefox shows me in the midst of typing where I've gone wrong?
