"Dyslexia"

For as long as i can remember, i have always had problems with words. I always felt like a complete idiot when i talked to people because i would always find myself struggling, trying to find or remember the words that i want to use and always associated this feeling with Anxieties. A couple of weeks, I came across an article on Dyslexia and found it interesting that the symptoms they listed were exactly like the issues that i deal with on a daily basis. I always thought Dyslexia was a visual thing with the reversal of letters and numbers, never thinking that it could affect verbal communication that makes it hard to retrieve words at the right time, hard to connect words and screws you over with grammar. A few days ago, i registered for a public speaking class to help alleviate my anxieties. I told the instructor the the problems that i encounter daily, and the first thing he said was, "that sounds like Dyslexia". He said that i should continue taking the class and get myself tested. My brother is Dyslexic and statistics state that if a family member is Dyslexic, it is highly probable that another member is Dyslexic. I spoke to my brother about it and told him what i go through and he said "wow, that is exactly what i went through". He mentioned a few strategies to overcome this. Although the adult mind is deeply programmed and is said that it is hard to overcome Dyslexia in adulthood, my brother says that i can totally overcome this. I have to say, this is like a breath of fresh air. I feel like i have found the holy grail. It is so frustrating to know that i have a problem and to mention it to people for them to say, no i don't think you have a problem when i know in my gut, something is wrong. The biggest frustration was not knowing what the problem was and so therefore i was not able to fight the problem. But now, i feel like I'm gathering up my warriors to help combat this problem... and i will be victorious...... I am Dyslexic

I process thoughts differently.... kinda makes me a genius (wink wink) like Einstein and Da Vinci(both Dyslexics)
