It so good you have this attitude and he doesn't go to a main stream school ! Having struggle with dyslexia I know how shit the main stream schools are even to this day. In the 80's and 90's I just did work fast enough and when I complained was told not to then became cheeky and got put on report. The plus is my parents got my private tuition, the lady Pam taught me so many ways around the problems I have which I use to this day. I still struggle massively with organisation, remembering things (not memory as such but forgetting to take note when I should) and time management the part of dyslexic a people never really know about. I have ways to mange them and ToDo spreadsheets and a 39 have finally realised what I need and have the confidence to ask for it (or demand more than often). Thankfully me current employer are good with a bit of pressure from my end and knowing what I need.
My mind is more creative and had I have the opportunities to explore this now and was able to educate myself in a different way for my second degree (as it was more my decision) I discover passion and ability to learn. I still struggle hence my writing on her is not a s often as In would like as I can't get down what is in my head more than often without taking a lot of time (which I just don't have). This often means I forget to do other things that are more important! This is dyslexia to a key. Anyways that's a hefty rant and I want to write a post about it now. Thank Estaban for his inspiration and I will dedicate the post to him and wish him much less stress than I had to endure as a nipper; but with your attitude I doubt he will have that 💯🐒
Thanks for sharing your story. Even the word dyslexia kinda annoys me now. For people like us to survive in a strict school system is very difficult and rarely beneficial to the way we perceive ourselves.
Seems like you have been able to take that important step back from it all and see the bigger picture. Many of us never achieve this and live our whole lives without ever reaching our full creative potential.
My memory is rubbish too. And like Esteban, I have a low attention span. Things really need to interest me if I am to focus on them!
Please send me a link to your post when it is done. I would like to read it but am terrible at following my feed here.
Sounds like you doing the right thing, wish i'd had that option. I will be sure too 💯🐒
