[QUOTE="Mark Quayle, post: 76308864, member: 410020"] Dyslexia is a category; not everybody has the same disability same problem same answers. I was somewhat dyslexic as a kid, and disciplining myself to compensate for it has given me the bad habit of seeing when a word looks wrong. I may not spell it right the first time, but when it is wrong I know it. Compensating for dyslexia also helped me get compass directions naturally right, know which direction a screw ("righty-tighty, lefty-loosey" doesn't do it for me) or auger needs to turn to cause what result, see in my mind's eye what something looks like from a back view, etc. There was even one day in school, I momentarily had the right mindset, and was able to write the absent teacher a message on the chalkboard upside down, backwards and mirrored, almost as naturally as writing the usual way. But when they say "Spring back, Fall forward" I give up. I have to go back in my mind to the purported reason they did this goofy business, to figure out which way the clock needs to go. What's funny to me is, the older I get, the more lucid I become in the matter, some days, and other days I'm just not sure. But I refuse not to let myself be overly-negatived. 10010110 [/QUOTE]
