hi liz

i have a son who is dyslexic.

with text .

but he is a proffesional muscian

and has no problem with musical scores and

cord charts

so what does dyslexic mean in terms of

trying to remember things.

and he can play instruments off the cuff

i cant explain the complaint

in words

it doesent hold him back

i showed him that

quote tho. and he was lost

so i cant explain.

Isn't that something?? Dylsexic Daughter is an actor and not only can easily remember her lines but ends up memorizing everyone else's lines, too!! That's one of the reasons dyslexia never held her back, either. She has such an amazing memory to compensate for having to work so hard at reading. Probably the reason your son is so gifted with music. If the brain struggles with one thing, another part is brilliant!

What we can't figure out is that daughter is also a gifted writer..... she's even had poetry published and won a couple awards for writing--usually reading and writing "go together"!!! But she does rely on MSWord's spellcheck and has me check her spelling.

Because we don't treat her dyslexia as a "handicap", (your son and my daughter proved that it is only a minor aggravation!) we do lovingly tease her, saying that she could probably easily read tongue twisters and things that are hard for us to read--and it makes her work at reading (practice helps so very much!), but the odd thing is sometimes, the mind benders are easier for her to read than for us to read! That's what I meant by that quote--hope I didn't hurt any feelings, it certainly wasn't meant to

it's a mental thing. remember how i said that i was a poorly great student. if it was a subject that interested me i excelled without even trying. but if it was something like english lit i struggled and didn't feel like trying. Dyslexia is just like that.

well that gives me an insight, to this not sure what you call it

it isnt a desease.

in my sons case his mother and i didnt treat as a problem.

it was his school teacher who alerted us

but we treated him as normal.

when it comes to music

he has no problem

and i agree with blim

let them be normal.

i read where it can affect people from all walks of life
