Dyslexcia
Last night was thinking about how my mind works through problems. how i approach issues. how when, in a group person A will say something and a moments later i will be in a totally different place. and up until recently i assumed that was how all peoples minds worked, and that was what made our (human) minds unique. Growing more opening with my thoughts i have realized my mind moves, and organizes thoughts very differently.
In this post i am not correcting my grammar (only typing errors). I am Dyslexic. but for a huge portion of my younger life i didnt know i had a problem. my parents never told me. I was in special education classes for my whole life, but i always thought it was because i was just dumber than the rest of the kids so i needed extra help.
Coming to college exposed me to people who handled their learning disabilities very differently than i have. My two best friends for the past two yeas. Three very different approaches are seen between us, yet we have all made it to SCAD. technically (resumes and such) we have all accomplished about the same level of stuff. yet we and our parents have treated our disabilities very differently.
This morning i have been reading about dylexia for the first time. (from here on out i am not going to use the spell checker.) That unique movement of my mind turns out to be not nearly as unique as i thought. it is just how dylexics move. and it has given many of them the upper hand in their careers. why? because they solve problems differntly, they delagait they think consepually. these are all traits that run strong through me. i could keep writingon this but i really needs to talk with people before i eleabarate.
basically, at 20 i am glad i am dislexic. has it made my life harder, yes. but in hindsite i didnt realize it was any harder or different from anyone else. so now i have just learned to work harder for the same thing, My ‘norms’ are different than the average persons. and i find i create al kinds of uniques ideas. from hear on out i am going to embrace my dyslexia more.
