DYSLEXIA AND ME
Dyslexia , is referd to has being a chemical imbalance, that's as maybe.'tis as if our wiring up , been dun by a prat , some wirer's not wired up right,
some wiring not dun at all , wires left hanging loose ,
right wired to left , left to right, present memarey to sub counches memarey,
some wires , super charged , so some dyslexiaks are are shit hot on
designeing,
or dam'd good at things mechanical , none better to fix your car , but do't call
me!!
some are just damede good at desing the house of your dreams,
work at carpentry , none better , beleave me , can be artist with wood , or
metal,
many are compensated in this ways , very practical by far,
in ways of art , stage , films , in writing , comedy tho you'd may be surprised ,
thear are many in entertainment , show biss , Ben Elton , Billy
Conaly , Susan Hamshier , so many I cant recal
first person I came across , was the acktres Sousan Hampshire tho she is
word blind as then they '' popularly'' referde then to dyslexia , well I had
climbed that mounting I had learnt to read,
I was clumsy as now I have learnt is calde dysprexia , cant handle numbers
either , I am dependant on outhers honisty when it comes to money , been
ripped off many a time , you find out who's a true freind I can tell you for nowt
who you can trust in shops and stores , some think I'm '' trying it on''. I am a
sertanly am not , when I tell you 50% of us end up in prison , so
the stats say hear and in the in the U S A , strange but troue 'tis only in
prison , that Dyslexic's get a little help , but not all , we need . I reckon , most
of them , now in prison would not be , if only their potenshal were realist,
you see some give up , go down that road , violant with frustration some
become, get in to crime , with such low asteam.
I was '' lucky'' , I had a high I Q , as I could read , my secondary school , I was
left pretty well a lown , to read what I desided to read , I led debates
arguments , tho I'm not argumentative , I was yes a rebel , but I had a course
, that course was me , and those,who like me codenamed to the scrap heap since I were were eight or less,
I developed a strong interest in history , from that in to politics vier current
affairs , their was rather a lot of that in the 60's ,
every year , past exam papers were pined up upon the walls each I looked,
wishfully,
the only bits of paper I achevde were for attendance oh yes cycling
prefishansey!!! , and that was it,
I discuverd I had a talant to write , direct plays , acct , damde good even if
do so I say so my self!!!
I beleave if computers were about when I was at school I beleave I'd have
dun well , but still not as well as my potential,
army as you can imagen was a falluer , as is just about all my life has been to
be honest with you ,
tryde for years to find help , all I could find was '' remedial'' , dames I am NOT
REMEDREAL!!!!
when I had insufficient cash I paid for my own aseasement , yup I had duble
''D'' , with an I Q of 138 , wich if I had not had dyslexia , I could have joinde
MENSER!!! ,
coulkd have been , should have been an honers student would you believe!!!''
I have an analitercal mind razer sharp , pepoles probles , art books , you
name it , I'm good that I am,
but now my foucher all now behind me , now I waite , I try not to become to empastant , but hey I am but human after all.
