My brother was severely dyslexic

Dick Coers

That is the way he wrote all his life. It was a horrible battle for him. Once the kids were old enough, he would have them write for him if it was critical. Today with auto spell checking it might be easier, but it will even give up when the spelling is that far off. Don't get me started with auto spell checking errors. Some can be hilarious!

A retired business man told his story. He was an All American running back at a big Midwestern university. At the banquet to honor his achievement the head coach said this about him: "He is as dumb as a post, but if you give him the ball and a little room, he won't stop until he reaches the end zone".

He was extremely successful and quite wealthy. He said he learned to tie his shoes by watching someone facing him do it. The result was he did it backwards. He read his first book at 65. Dyslexia causes lots of heartache for people. Frank said it made him more determined to succeed.

Nelson Rockefeller had to memorize all of his speeches.

My son is dyslexic. He will write his name backwards about fifty percent of the time. I can say, You wrote that backwards and he will say OK and write it the other way. But, he can type 120 words a minute. He is an artillery officer. They work out the solution for the gunners and fire for effect. They watch where the rounds fall and "walk" them in. Many people have a lot of trouble with that. Somehow its easy for him. OTOH, Left and right means nothing to him. If he is driving and you want him to turn left, you just wave your hand in that direction.
